Growth Groups
We call our small groups “Growth Groups” because they are a strategic part of fulfilling Emmanuel’s mission of “training to grow” in relationship with God and one another. This growth is for our own spiritual benefit and joy but also so that we can “Go” and spread the gospel to our communities and abroad.
The purpose of EBC Growth Groups is to help one another train for mission through fellowship and the application of the truth of Scripture.
Benefits
Seasonal Approach - As we start 2026 we’re taking time to give ourselves to this model of discipleship. We are not expecting a year long commitment or multi year commitment but simply a few months to focus on living out our faith in our day to day lives.
Spiritual Care - These Growth Groups will provide an opportunity for you to care for the spiritual needs of those in our church and for you to be cared for by others in the church. Christian’s are not meant to live individualistic lives but rather in a community where their burden’s and joy’s can be shared.
Spiritual Growth - Giving special attention to applying the sermon to our lives will facilitate spiritual growth as we help one another believe and obey what we’ve heard on Sunday.
Friendships - Having time together week by week will help us move past simple (though important) conversations and grow deeper in our relationships with one another.
Obedience - As we think and talk about how to respond to Sunday’s Sermon, it’s our hope that we will grow individually and corporately in obeying the scriptures and bringing glory and honor to God.
Focus
Growth Groups include a time of questions and discussion based on the sermon series or book study, as well as time spent together in prayer and fellowship.
