Jesus wants every sheep - even the one stray from the flock of 100 - to have a faithful shepherd. Small groups help fulfill His desire.
Small groups follow the biblical model in Acts 2. The early church gave themselves to study, teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. “And they gave to one another as they had need”. Because of this commitment, they added to their numbers daily. It's clear that God blesses us when we meet together, fellowship together, study together - share life together. We need to meet in places like our neighborhoods, where we can include people who want to be known and need to know Christ.
