Zion Church of Kurten

Got LIFE?

by Pastor Kevin on July 17th, 2010

This fall our church will be starting several Life Groups.  You may be wondering what it is I am referring to? 

A Life Group could be seen as a home Bible Study, but in reality it is so much more than that.  Did you know that small groups were Jesus’ way of making disciples?  In Acts the church began with efforts to get small groups of believers together in their homes (Acts 2:42-46).  Our Life Groups are small groups of people gathering during the week to help each other stay on mission for Jesus.  When our groups gather they will study a topic related directly to the sermon, they will share prayer requests, break bread together, fellowship, and encourage one another to live, share, and show the Gospel.  Our groups provide another venue for people to discover and use your spiritual gifts and serve while helping our church to become more authentic and relational.   Our Life Groups are a great place for those who are new to connect and for those who have been attending for years to get revived.

I can honestly say that from my time as a lay person, to volunteering actively, to serving as a deacon, to serving as an elder, to being an associate pastor, and now as the pastor of Zion that small groups have been key to my spiritual growth.  I believe that these Life Groups have the potential to transform lives and build a community of believers devoted to carrying out the mission of making disciples.
