The Importance Of Grow Groups In Our FBCScottsdale Community
Darla Holmes | Director of Children’s Ministries and Grow Groups
This past Sunday was the first week of our Spring Sunday Morning Grow Groups. It was enjoyable watching our community walk up and head to our different choices. For me, it felt like a very special day. New commitments, new subjects to learn and grow our understanding in our Christian walk, and new friendships. It all begins with showing up and allowing God to expand our knowledge. There is nothing more impactful than knowing you are among a group that chooses to see what God has in store for them. It is never too late. I pray next week you are here as well, having this wonderful opportunity to grow personally and in your community. There is always room at God’s table.
I continue to ask the question of our community, Why are Grow Groups Important to You? There is a theme, but they are also quite unique. God’s personal relationship grows where He sees fit.
Linda wrote that it “keeps you learning about the Bible. Current topics in today’s world. Getting to know different people in our church. Making us aware of current religious books. Grow Groups have taken the place of Sunday School for adults.”
Gayle shared, “I like the smaller setting of Grow Groups. It allows for a community feeling and is a great way to know people better. Being able to share one’s thoughts and ideas and prayer requests sets a tone of intimacy and acceptance which is a source of encouragement for me.”
Josh said, “Grow groups are important as they provide purpose for people going to the church that need something extra! They offer the chance to actually grow in your faith and even meet new people to have great conversations with about faith.”
Our prayer is that each of us equip ourselves in a Grow Group and develop a deeper connection that is a catalyst for everything God is building us to be at home, at work and in our communities. We look forward to seeing you in class. Come see the good offerings FBCScottsdale has to offer. If you have any further questions; I would love to talk with you.
