GrowthGroups

Here at Creekside we call small groups "Growth Groups". Small groups are the essential point of face-to-face fellowship in the Christian Community. It is in small groups that people can get close enough to know each other, to care and share, to challenge and support, to confide and confess, to forgive and be forgiven, to laugh and weep together, to be accountable to each other, and to grow together. When this happens, people begin to experience an authentic face-to-face real church experience. Small groups are God's gift to foster changes in our character and spiritual growth.

Small groups are the "heartbeat" of Creekside Church's ministry. It’s the real Church. The life blood of the church flows through these gatherings held in member's home throughout the week. Where we learn to "work out" our Christianity in practical ways. Small groups are in-home fellowships made up of 12-16 people who meet weekly for an evening of study, caring, and prayer. Creekside follows the Lecture/Lab model where the study is based on the current Sunday morning series. In addition, "specialty groups" are offered throughout the year.

PERSONAL GROWTH

A believer can not grow alone. The life of following Christ was never meant to be in isolation. The early Christians pursued it not in large gatherings, but rather in homes and smaller settings. Jesus also modeled small groups. Although he had many followers, he chose from among them twelve, and from among the twelve formed an even smaller group of four, including himself. This smaller group surrounded Jesus, in total or in part, at critical points of his ministry. He emphasized the importance of being close to one another, and most of all he promised that when two or three people would gather as a small group - surprise! - he would be there with them. Obviously, Jesus loves small groups.
