Growth Groups FAQs
What is a Growth Group?
A Growth Group is a small group study that meets weekly for six weeks. Growth Groups will take place throughout the year, with five “blocks”, each six weeks long, each separated by a break of two weeks (the exception being the December break which will be three weeks.
What is the purpose of a Growth Group?
Two verses are helpful in describing our purpose for Growth Groups:
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. (II Peter 3:18) …until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ… (Ephesians 4:13)
The “growth” that we refer to in the name “Growth Groups” is growth in becoming like Christ. It is not simply knowledge, but knowledge of who Christ is, of God’s will, and of how to follow Jesus. It is not simply growth in relationships, but growing in Christ-like love for one another as his body. It is not simply growth in coping with life, but in honoring Christ and being content with Christ in every circumstance.
Will all Growth Groups look the same?
The short answer is “no”. Some groups will be for just men or just women. Some groups will be for parents with younger children. Some groups will be in-depth (ID) and thus involve more work outside of class. Some groups will devote more of their time to prayer. But what every group will have in common is a clear focus on Christ and growing as His followers in light of our overall vision at Way of Grace. The canvas may be a little different, but the frame will always be the same.
