Discipleship+Small Groups
As one small group member has said:
“Small groups provide the opportunity to delve beyond the common, the
superficial, to develop close and meaningful in-depth relationships.
With frequent meetings, small groups foster intimacy and a sense of deep
friendships which helps us see and feel God’s kingdom.”

Monday Night Small Group (currently closed)
Several years ago, 11 members of FBC formed a small group. To facilitate our study of lectionary scriptures and prayer, we jointly pledged to “intentionally share our own ongoing stories in an atmosphere of confidentiality and trust so that our bonds may be strengthened and our vulnerabilities exposed.” From time to time, space opens up for us to expand. But at present, in the name of preserving this hard-won, mutual confidentiality and trust, this small group is a “closed” group.
