I am researching small groups this week. As I have been reading about small groups today I realized something very powerful. My decision to follow Christ was made in a voluntary, small group meeting setting.
I really thought that I was going to lose out on Heaven when I was 15 years old. I felt as though I knew nobody who lived a Christian life. Then a small group of teens asked my to go to dinner with them. We had met at a church gathering with many people of all ages. When the time of fellowship was over, my mind was made up. If I will hang out with these people, I can go to heaven.
The Small Group ministry at Frist Assembly is essential. Everyone needs a place of worship, that is our large group gatherings and events. But more importantly, we all need a face of worship. A friend who will worship, pray, fellowship, serve and evangelize the lost with us, side by side. I did not realize how much a small group of believers impacted my life until I stopped to think about it more specifically.
