Here at TCI we strongly believe in connection in the body of Christ. To connect means to join, link, or fasten together; unite or bind. A small group is a group of people that meet on a regular basis for the sharing of the Word, fellowship, encouragement, and spiritual growth.
Small groups are the New Testament pattern of ‘doing church.’ Communities of believers came together in large and small gatherings to share in their Christian faith.
Acts 2:46-47-46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
Acts 5:42- 42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
See also Acts 2:41-45
When you attend a small group you can expect a warm and friendly atmosphere. You will have time to converse and connect with other members of the group, as well as a time of discussion. There will be a Spirit led time of sharing the Word, and heartfelt prayer.
