Small Groups

WE’RE WITH YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY TO BELIEVE, BELONG, AND BE LOVED!

Small group ministry is an important and ever-growing part of our church journey. Small groups allow us to meet, show love, and support small group members, grow your roots in our church community, and respond to God’s Call. The long-term vision for small groups is one of gradual maturation in the Christian faith. This allows for constant growth. The Christian faith is best lived in relationship with other believers, and these relationships have the power to change us. We may hear the message of the Gospel at church, but small groups empower us through group dialogue to become that message for the world. We want to be with you on the journey. It doesn’t have to be burdensome or overbearing – we believe relationships can change lives!

In addition to Sunday School and Wednesday Night classes, here are the small groups that we have available at this time. If you are interested in leading a small group, contact Rev. Kathleen McMurray at kmcmurray@phumc.com or 501-664-3600
