Small Groups

Join a Small Group 

What exactly is a small group?

        Small groups come in many shapes and sizes at E-Free.  Any time a few Christians gather together regularly for study,fellowship, and service there is opportunity for what we refer to as a small group.

 

Individuals in small groups desire to grow spiritually and believe mutual caring, accountability, service, and encouragement are all parts of the pattern Jesus established with His disciples to nourish that growth.

 

We encourage participation in a small group early in the process of becoming connected into the E-Free family.  Most people start in what we refer to as an Open Small Group.  Although you may join an existing small group at any time during the year, new small groups are organized each Fall.

 

What can you expect when you first visit any Open Small Group?

A Few People - Open Small Groups are generally 3-12 people who meet at a regularly scheduled time.  Weekly meetings are suggested.

Accessibility - Meetings are usually in homes, but could also be at church, at the workplace, at restaurants, or any other location convenient to members of the group.

Authentic Community - These small groups are designed for you to develop friendships through sharing life together, which may involve studying, eating, praying, serving, laughing or otherwise sharing the ups and downs of life with one another.

Bible - Learning to know and understand God’s Word in the Bible is the reason we gather together.

Application - It is when we apply what God is teaching us that our lives are changed.

Inviting Atmosphere - These groups are described as Open Small Group because they are inviting and welcoming people who have visited E-Free, friends from work, neighbors, and others to become part of God’s family.

Service - Each group member is encouraged to serve where they are uniquely gifted. Often the group as a whole will tackle a specific service project they can do together.
