Small Groups
Small group members find the friendships, growth opportunities, and encouragement to stay strong week in and week out. Every believer needs a church home, but we also need a small group of other believers for support and encouragement. A small group is a non-threatening casual environment where you will have the opportunity to fellowship, go deeper in biblical truths, care for and be cared for by others, experience life together with others. In these small group environments you will learn to value the accountability, prayer, encouragement and connections that are made.
You can discover locations and times of our small groups here. Consider this your open invitation to join us any week!
If you would like a copy of our current SOAP guide you can get a PDF version here.
SOAP is simply the method we use to study and discuss the Bible as we daily seek to discover more about who God is and the plans He has for our lives.
The following describes what SOAP is and how best to use it in order to study the scriptures for understanding and application.
S – SCRIPTURE: Read your scripture, then write in your journal the verse(s) that stand out to you in the passage.
O – OBSERVATION: What do you think God is saying to you? Rewrite the scripture in your own words. Consult your commentary for help.
A – APPLICATION: Personalize what you’ve read by asking yourself how it applies to your life. Is it an instruction? An encouragement? A promise? A call to take corrective action? Write how this scripture applies to you today.
P – PRAYER: Your prayer can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, praising him for something he’s done, or confessing a sin. Write it out, just like you would an email, text or letter.
THEN LIVE IT OUT!
