“A [Life] group takes our good intentions and puts them on a calendar.”
-Larry Osbourne
What are Life Groups?
Life groups are our small group ministry here at Wye Bible Church. They are made up of people who are interested in connecting with others, learning more about God through the study of His Word, and putting their faith into action. The driving force behind the groups is of course DISCIPLESHIP:
“Discipleship is the intensely personal activity of two or more persons helping each other experience a growing relationship with God. Discipleship is being before doing, maturity before ministry and character before career.” -Neil T. Anderson
What is the vision?
To inspire people to practically live out the Gospel by:
- To read, study and obey the all sufficient Word Of God.
- To inspire people to practically live out the Gospel by:
- Equipping believers to defend their faith.
- Teaching each other to live a life that glorifies God and attracts others to Him.
- Committing to being reproducers and not just receivers.
- Asking others to join in the vision and commit to personally investing into those that are around them.
What are people saying about life groups?
“My experience with Life Groups is that they will change your life and become what feels like a necessity as they help feed your Christian life.”
“My experience with attending is amazing, just being able to surround myself with fellow men of God.”
“A rewarding life changing experience!”
“An experience beyond words, blessing beyond measure!!”
“When Jesus started his ministry, the very first thing he did was form a [Life] group” -Rick Warren
