LIFE CONNECTIONS
Joining A Group
We know it can be difficult to take the next step from a large group environment like our weekend worship experience to a smaller setting. That’s why we would like to offer a few suggestions to help.
Connect
Connect Groups. Meet regularly in an open and comfortable environment (Most will meet in homes)
Connect
These groups will seek to connect members together in the church on an ongoing basis in an open and comfortable environment.
(Most will meet in homes.) These groups will be open to new participants throughout their session. They might be arranged around geographic location, a particular phase of life, or even a favorite hobby. Whatever the initial connection between participants, the objective will be threefold:
- Meet together,
- Speak together, and
- Pray together.
We hope these groups will be simple, flexible, and relational.
Growth
Growth Groups. Applying biblical principles to your life by working through a designated curriculum
Growth
Participants should expect to work through a designated curriculum based on a portion of Scripture or particular Christian Living theme.
(most will require some individual study/reading between meetings). Then, under the direction of their leader, group participants will seek to help one another apply the principles of the study in their own lives. Groups will be comprised of 8 – 12 participants and most will meet in homes. They will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. So, be sure and register early! Growth Groups will be closed after the first meeting. Participants will be asked to cover the cost of their material for the group. The emphasis on application requires participants to be members of FBCUM in order to register.
EQUIP
EQUIP Groups. Learning more in-depth biblical knowledge at all levels of the Christian faith
EQUIP
The vision is to impact the congregation with the training, passion, and skills necessary to grow healthy and start new churches
by establishing and EQUIPing church planters, pastors, and church leaders for effective servant ministry. Classes cover Bible college and seminary level coursework taught at our church. However, we are not offering Equip classes this session.
