Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

• Our Vision: "To raise up people who know, worship, & obey God according to the Scriptures."
• Our Mission: "To promote healthy relationships through small groups which empower people for ministry."

Biblical Basis for Life Groups

Definition: A life-giving life group is three or more persons meeting for a set period of time with the objective of meeting a felt need.Of all formats, small groups have the greatest biblical support. Jesus is our model as a life group leader. We should imitate Him.

Some biblical instances of pastoral care:

• OT: Exodus 18:5-27. Jethro counsels Moses to delegate duties
• 1 Peter 5:2-4. Jesus' admonition to 'Be shepherds of God's flock...'

Life groups enhance the pastor's ability to care for the flock by creating a team work atmosphere.
