In Person

Intended for small group studies, Sunday School classes, or one-on-one discipleship, these links offer life challenges from biblical texts on general topics.

Suggested values and assumptions that serve to provide parameters for a small discussion group are listed below. In order to facilitate growth and maturity during these studies, believers are encouraged toward commitment to the following:

  • Getting together regularly
  • Being gracious to one another by allowing the necessary space to grow, i.e., no unbiblical demands or ideals imposed upon other members
  • Teaching and admonishing one another without displacing our Wonderful Counselor and Paraclete
  • Being honest and transparent without compromising our intimacy/confidentiality with God, your spouse, or other relationships
  • Obedience to the clear teaching of God’s Word
  • Sharing Scriptures that speak to the situation
  • Praying daily for other members in specific areas
  • Commitment to one another’s growth and maturity, as well as your own
  • Being dependent upon one another, yet responsible for your own growth and maturity.
