We are a community called to Invite people to Jesus Christ, Grow Disciples of Jesus Christ, and Show the Love of Jesus Christ
Small groups are a means Christians have used since the early church to carry out the mission of the church. From Acts 2:
"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. …Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
Small groups continue to gather us together to share in the tasks of inviting (connecting), developing (teaching/learning) and sending (being Christ’s hands and feet in the world.) In small groups we gather with our individual spiritual journeys, share, and grow both as individuals and as a community as we accomplish our goals of discipleship.

You are not an accident. Even before the universe was created, God had you in mind, and he planned you for his purposes. These purposes will extend far beyond the few years you will spend on earth.

every step of that journey. Each session begins with food, the Minute
Win To It challenges (check it out on NBC.com and search for Minute to
Win blueprint for games or watch videos) and ends with our faith
component. Our challenges will be a bit modified, of course! Come join
the fun! There is something for everyone! Sunday evenings at Trinity fellowship hall. (For additional ministry opportunities for younger kids, check out our youth page.)
