Small Groups
OverviewEach small group meets at least once each month and is lead by a trained small group leader. Group meetings are normally an hour and a half to two hours and include time for Bible discussion, accountability, and prayer, as well as informal times to build relationships with others in the group.
God wants every follower of Jesus to be continually growing. Each Countryside small group is committed to both Mutual Ministry and Multiplication.
Mutual Ministry means that each member of the group is looking for ways to minister to the other members of the group. All groups should also be prayerfully considering a way to extend the ministry of their small group through multiplication.
Multiplication means eventually forming two or more groups so that others who are not yet in Small groups can continue to find places to connect with a Small Group.Design for DiscipleshipFor over 25 years, the Design for Discipleship series has served as a personal guide to a relationship with Christ for millions of people.
