Small Groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place. Considering that the early church worshipped in large settings in the synagogues as well as in homes, we unite together similarly in order to be in deeper fellowship with God and one-another. God has reconciled us not only to Himself but also to each other. This "each other" is called His Church. Thus, we intentionally strive toward community through men's/women's groups, home gatherings, and other personal settings.
We have been created to live in community and not in isolation. Physically, we do live in a community, but spiritually, socially, and relationally we often live our lives in isolation. We find ourselves with no one to turn to when we have a major issue that has just surfaced in our life. Living in community affords us the opportunity to more wholly experience God through close relationships as we play and pray together, as we encourage and help one another, and as we study and live out God’s word together.
Hebrews 10:24-25
Small groups are the heartbeat of discipleship at First Church of the Nazarene. These gatherings offer a space to dive deeper into God’s Word, pray for one another, and be equipped to live out your faith. This is where we build meaningful relationships, share life’s joys and challenges, and walk together in faith. We believe transformation happens in circles, not just rows—so we invite you to step into a smaller setting where faith becomes personal and community becomes family.
