10 Reasons You Should Join a Small Group

“It is in small groups that people can get close enough to know each other, to care and share, to challenge and support, to confide and confess, to forgive and be forgiven, to laugh and weep together, to be accountable to each other, to watch over each other and to grow together. Personal growth does not happen in isolation. It is the result of interactive relationships. Small groups are God’s gift to foster changes in character and spiritual growth.” Dr. Gilbert Bilezikian

10 Reasons to Join a Small Group

  1. Small groups are the perfect place to pray with and for others.
  2. Small groups are the perfect place to share one another’s burdens. Galatians 6:2
  3. Small groups are the perfect place to study the Bible and grow in faith, knowledge, and service.
  4. Small groups are the perfect place to experience authentic relationships in God’s family of like believers.
  5. Small groups are the perfect place to bring your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers and introduce them to Christ.
  6. Small groups are the perfect place to study His Word and to be in prayer, we do this individually but we are also to do it in community.
  7. Small groups are the perfect place to become better servants of the Lord by developing skills in leadership and ministry.
  8. Small groups are the perfect place to be discipled and make disciples. Matthew 28:18-20
  9. Small groups are the perfect place to learn first-hand how to share Christ with loved ones, co-workers and strangers.
  10. Small groups are the perfect place to put into practice the teaching you are receiving from Eastwood Tulsa.

So, small groups are the perfect place to be with one another! Dr. Gilbert Bilezikian points out:

“Community is deeply grounded in the nature of God. It flows from who God is. Because he is community, he creates community. It is his gift of himself to humans. Therefore, the making of community may not be regarded as an optional decision for Christians. It is a compelling and irrevocable necessity, a binding divine mandate for all believers at all times.”
