Small Groups
At the Reno Vineyard we believe that Small Groups play a central role in the building of people and in expanding our ability to disciple and release more workers into the field. Our goal is to see most of our church engaged in a small group during the week. These may be groups that meet in homes on a weekly basis or a similar type group that meets on a regular basis (e.g. in a coffee shop). Our responsibility is to develop and care for people, and to teach them to do the same in return.
The purpose of a small group is:
· To create community
· To explore the Bible together
· To bring unity
· To provide a place for approachable ministry
As Jim Egli, Lead Small Group Pastor (West and East areas) from Urbana Vineyard church says:
"People have a hunger and a need to experience God in two different ways. They need to experience God’s greatness. They need to know that he is big and powerful and awesome. They can best experience that in a larger group. This is where they feel like they are part of a movement, something much bigger than themselves. One the other hand, in a small group you experience God’s closeness. Instead of feeling you are part of a movement, in a small group you feel like you are part of a family. Because these people care, you know God cares. Because these people are real, you know you can be real. Every person needs both experiences and we as a church need to offer both of these so that people can experience Jesus more fully, both his greatness and his closeness. Theologians speak of experiencing God’s transcendence and God’s immanence. Those are just fancy words, however, to mean that people need to realize that God is big and powerful and also that he is close and personal."
So, we encourage you to stop by and visit a Small Group this week! It’ll be a great opportunity to build authentic relationships with others, as well as continue your walk with Christ. You may call the leaders or hosts at the numbers listed for more information.
