Fellowship Groups are for people in our church to get to know each other in more intimate ways than just the casual greeting times at church. Groups are composed of either couples or singles. The purpose for these groups is Christian fellowship and encouragement. These groups help us to achieve the goal of strengthening the body of Christ through building spiritually strong and healthy relationships between church members that would not naturally build such relationships.

In creating this ministry we set out the following goals and established the methods listed below to help achieve them:

Goals

1) For each participant to have quality fellowship with four or more people they don’t know very well

2) For each group to pray together regarding the church and each others’ spiritual and other needs

3) To foster greater communication and openness of spiritual relationships in the church

4) To encourage the mindset of hospitality throughout the church

Methods

1) Putting groups together of all different ages

2) Putting groups together of people who might not already have strong relationships

3) Creating opportunities for discussion and prayer by meeting every month or every other month for a year
