Small Group Life

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matthew 28:18-20 NIV)

 

Countryside believes small groups are the model for how we are to operate in relationship with God and each other (Acts 2:42-47, Hebrews 10:25)

Small Groups are Jesus' model for discipleship by:
    • Developing meaningful relationships.
    • Growing in faith and the personal application of God's word.
    • Shepherding people and ministering to their needs.
    • Holding each other accountable to the work and grace of God in our lives.
Jesus modeled for us the importance of a small group when He met with the twelve disciples. Small groups are an essential part of Christian growth. We believe people will be best brought to wholeness and maturity within an atmosphere of honest and open relationships. This occurs when men and women commit to meeting weekly with each other.

Countryside's Small Groups intentionally care for those within the group and try to reach those who are not yet connected. These groups serve as a vital means for discipleship.
