Growth Groups exist to promote spiritual maturity and personal growth through meaningful Christian relationships and study of scripture. We’ll do this by focusing on four primary activities: ### SHARE Each week we’ll take time to share what is happening in our lives. ### STUDY Each week we’ll study a section from scripture that relates to the previous weekend’s sermon or an appropriate personal growth topic. Our goal is to learn how to live out our Christianity in everyday life. ### SUPPORT Each week we’ll learn how to take care of one another as Christ commanded. This care can take many forms such as prayer, encouragement, listening, challenging one another, and meeting real needs. ### SERVE Spiritual Growth is fostered not only by what we gain through the support and input of others, but also through service to others. The role each of us fills is important to the health of the church and for us to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our community. Throughout the quarter, it is our hope that you can find and/or be affirmed in the ways God has designed you to serve, and make a difference in God’s Kingdom. ## FIVE MARKS OF A HEALTHY GROUP For our group to be healthy, we need to… 1. Make spiritual growth our number one priority. 2. Accept one another. 3. Take care of one another. 4. Treat each other with respect. 5. Keep our commitments to the group.
