Holistic Small Groups
What is a Holistic Small Group? 
             Small groups are just that: small gatherings of people. Holistic Small Groups have trained leaders and are designed for people with common interests to meet together with a common purpose.
             Each groups is united by a common theme. Each theme is designed to spark interest and encourage group dynamics.
Everyone is welcome and each group chooses their own direction and focus. All groups share a common DNA structure which includes:
1. Inclusive Fellowship—Anyone and everyone is welcome
2. Disciple Making Goals—Everyone becoming a disciple of Christ
3. Bible Based—The Bible is a resource for each group
4. Mission Involvement—Each small group will choose a mission project through which they can serve the church or community
5. Intentional Outreach—Groups are designed to multiply and grow.
