HOME GROUPS

Frequently Asked Questions

A Home Group is a small group of 4-8 couples or 8-16 individuals that meet once a week to discuss Scripture, fellowship, and pray for the greater purpose of life transformation.

Home Groups will enjoy a sermon based curriculum.  Home Group material consists of :

• Sunday’s sermon outline
• Several questions that focus on applications of Sunday’s message.
• Parallel passages
• Prayer

Your discussion guide is available each Sunday in the Sermon Listening Guides section of the app.  Sermon recaps can also be emailed to you and anyone in your group by emailing your request to jkarj1@gmail.com.  Daily devotions are also available at your request. 

Home Groups will primarily meet on Sunday night, although a few will meet on other nights of the week.

A Home Group needs a host home and a discussion facilitator.  Our pastors select all facilitators and host homes.

The church cannot always provide childcare for Home Groups.  On Sunday nights, from 5-7 PM, our kids ministry has GROW (a highly interactive Bible based and worship experience for birth to 5th grade) that they will love! On other nights, we encourage families to bring their children to Home Group.  Childcare can be accomplished in a variety of ways; assign an adult in the group to watch the kids, older kids can watch younger kids, kids can be kept at one house and Group can meet in another, a babysitter can be hired, etc.  The Host will guide you on Monday – Saturday meetings.

Pray!!!

If any issues arise regarding a member that you feel you need help with, please notify David Smith (863-594-0064).

Some Home Groups will get too big for effective discussion, too big for the host home, and for parking, or too big for quality care ministry.  In groups larger than 12, we want to start praying about the Lord providing a new Host Home and Facilitator.  The staff will not force groups to multiply.  The group will know when they are too large.
