Small groups are a critical component of life at Hope Bible Church. The personal interaction and informal gatherings provide opportunities for stronger relationships, service opportunities, and direct discipleship. Our small groups meet in homes throughout the region on various nights of the week. Some small groups are oriented toward families, others include only adults. Though not required, it is the desire of the elders that every member of Hope find the joy and benefit of participating in one of our small groups. Because of our commitment to cultivate an environment where believers can bear one another’s burdens and be open about their struggles to receive hope and encouragement, only members of HBC can join a small group. However, those who are currently taking the membership class are welcome to visit a group to see what they are like.
Small group leaders are dedicated to shepherding and praying for each member in their small group. Many of our members have found small group participation to be one of their sources of greatest joy and encouragement.
If you are interested in joining a small group or have additional questions about small groups, please contact Pastor Gabe Powell.
