Community Groups

One of the things we're always looking for is follow-up for our evangelistic seminars. The best way we know how to do that, is by starting Community Groups. The kind of groups we're looking to start immediately following our Spring Seminar is simple: 1) Show a 15-20 minute long DVD, 2) facilitate a discussion about those groups with a list of questions pre-arranged to start with, 3) pray together as a group. We're looking for 5 leaders of these groups. If you are interested in doing this, please contact Pastors Jeff or Roger and they will be glad to help you get it started at the end of April.
