SMALL GROUP MINISTRY


The Great Outdoors Church is committed to the concept of developing small groups as a means of providing unique opportunities for new and exciting times for fellowship, study and support to fellow Christians. Several small groups are organized to meet each week on a day and time that is convenient for the members of the respective group. Some of the groups meet at the church and other meet in homes. Small groups are designed to encourage Christian growth by studying the Bible and focusing on specific topics, by providing a way to support each other and by striving to engage in a deeper walk with the Lord. Small groups are open to all and everyone is encouraged to become part of one of our existing groups or to offer to start a new group.

Another season of Small Groups has begun. As you review the list of groups, please give prayerful consideration to joining one of them. Participation in a small group will provide a unique opportunity for spiritual growth, an enhanced knowledge of the Bible and a time of fun, fellowship and refreshment together. You will enjoy meeting new friends and strengthening current friendships. Please call the leader listed to let him/her know that you are interested in attending or just to get more information on the study topic, etc. Our groups for this season are as follows:
