Could your family be a “Small Group”?

February 13, 2009 · 1 Comment

family-bible-time1When you gather your family for a common purpose like Bible study or doing the 5-Day Hunger Challenge together, you are in a community–a Small Group!

Just like with our traditional fellowship groups, Christ The Rock is coming alongside families to support and encourage their journey together.Beginning this month we’re distributing Family Small Group Devotionals and other materials to those who register as Family Groups.

Why register?

By becoming a registered family small group, CTR can provide the devotionals and materials that support what we as a church are doing together.

The designated family group facilitator does not need to be a CTR small group leader, but will receive the same resources and guidance that our home fellowship leaders get.
