Small Groups

Although some people may think that small group fellowship is a new idea to the Christian church, the Bible clearly teaches that from the beginning of the church, Christians have been strengthened through God-centered fellowship in the homes of believers. Both Paul and Luke not only write about groups of Christians meeting in homes of believers (Romans 16:5, Colossians 4:15, I Corinthians 16:19, Acts 5:42), Luke even addresses how such fellowship can help nurture the spiritual growth of the participants and the body of Christ as a whole (Acts 2:46-47). At Peace, we believe that small groups, or lifegroups, can help people mature in their faith walk through the strengthening of relationships with others and with Christ.

Through prayer, Bible study, sharing, support, socializing, and yes, even eating together, lifegroups provide a wonderful opportunity for Christians to fulfill God’s calling to “encourage one another and build each other up” (I Thessalonians 5:11), and to “comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God” (II Corinthians 1:4b). If you would like more information and/or are interested in joining a lifegroup, please contact Steve Wiechman in the office at stevew@peacechurch.org. We are on an exciting mission to help everyone at Peace feel more connected with the love of God and the love that comes through relationships with good Christian friends.
