Think Small  ..... Small Groups that is!

God designed us for relationships.  We are not intended to go through life disconnected from God or from loving relationships with others.  We are meant to deepen our understanding of God, develop meaningful relationships and cultivate spiritual maturity.  Significant relationships develop by reading His Word, spending time with people that you trust and are comfortable sharing feelings with.

 

 

Jesus commanded us to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength”, and to “Love your neighbor as yourself."  This tells us how deeply Jesus values relationships both with God and with each other.

 

Trinity has small groups that are dedicated to studying God's word through the scriptures, study guides and multimedia.  We have small groups that revolve around Christian fellowship, where sharing and growing in faith and friendship go hand in hand.  Trinity is involved with several interdenominational small groups where the emphisis is on Jesus Christ and Christ-centered fellowship.  Come explore the many Small Group opportunities Trinity has to offer.

Small study groups offer a place to connect with other believers in fellowship; to grow in our understanding of the Bible, as Jesus' own small group of disciples did; to meet the needs of others in your group in ministry; to become equipped for evangelism; and to worship God through practicing godly behavior.  Small Group Bible study also offers a safe place to get your questions answered. Asking pastors during weekly church services isn't usually possible or practical, so you may leave fed, but still a little hungry. When you are involved in a small group of other believers with varying backgrounds, chances are at least one other person in that group will be able to answer your specific questions. Certainly, as a group, you can determine to research and find answers to questions that cannot be answered in your regular meeting times.

In Matthew 18 verse 20 Jesus said "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them"  and so it is with Christian fellowship.  Fellowship is first the sharing together in a common life with other believers through relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Fellowship is first and foremost a relationship, rather than an activity. The principle is that any activity that follows, should come out of the relationship.  God has created us to be dependent people—dependent on Him and on one another. His judgment in Genesis 2:18, “it is not good for the man to be alone,” is a principle that speaks not only to marriage, but to all of life and especially to the spiritual fellowship of all believers.  No man is an island. None of us has the ability to go it alone. We need the communion or companionship of one another.  We have many opportunities at Trinity to gather in the name of Jesus Christ with other Christians, come explore these opportunities for yourself.
