Why Small Groups?
We want each person at Woodlawn to grow spiritually mature in Christ. Spiritual growth happens best in the context of relationships with fellow believers. Our Sunday morning gathering (rows) provides worship and teaching, but experiencing a growing faith and the love of God in smaller groups (circles) creates opportunity to walk alongside one another through the ups and downs of life. That's why it's important to move from rows to circles where we can follow Jesus together as His disciples. In rows, you are encouraged and equipped to live your life for Jesus. In circles, you are stuck like glue to what you need most when life gets hard: God and each other.
Discipleship lies at the heart of the Christian LIFE:
-
Leading people to Jesus.
-
Involvement in the church family.
-
Following Jesus together.
-
Engaging the world.
Small Groups become a gathering of friends who support and challenge each other to become more like Jesus by growing in three important relationships:
​
-
Up - Our relationship with God
-
In - Our relationship with each other
-
Out - Our relationship with non-Christian friends and neighbors
We want to move from rows to circles and from circles to service, growing in our Up, In, and Out relationships. In a Small Group you will discover the best way to live life is through Christ, with other Christians, on a mission.
