Life is better in a smaller circle
Alongside Sundays, most of us belong to a small group — around 6 to 10 people meeting in homes, at church or online through the week.
It's where faith gets personal: reading the Bible together, sharing real life, praying for one another, and helping equip one another to be active disciples of Jesus. It's also simply where friendships grow.
