At Orchards small groups are a core tool for people to build relationships, get connected and spiritually develop. We find Small groups to be the Biblical model Jesus used for discipleship. In a “small group” Jesus….
- Regularly met with 12 individuals (His disciples)
- Developed the group to have deep meaningful relationships
- Facilitated growth in faith and personal application of God’s Word
- Ministered to needs as shepherd
- Held each other accountable to the work and grace of God in our lives
We find that when following Jesus’ model people can be transformed into wholeness and maturity within an atmosphere of honest, open and caring relationships. Small groups typically meet weekly in a home. The groups intentionally care for those within the group and always try to reach those who are not yet connected.
To find a group go to GROUP FINDER for a current listing of small groups and locations.
Most small groups meet weekly during the school year. In the summer some meet sporadically for social events. To learn more about groups please email smallgroups@lewistonocc.org. or contact Pastor Matt at 743-1021.
