ChristCare Small Groups What is a ChristCare Group?
A ChristCare Group is a gathering of 5-12 people that meets at least twice a month to:
-create community and build friendship
-pray for and with one another
-study and share the Bible and Christian faith as they relate to everyday life
-serve the needs of others
The group is lead by a trained leader, and members choose the topic of study and nature service or outreach. In some cases, the group members share a similar situation or a common life experience. However, these groups are open to everyone.
Who would benefit from participation in a ChristCare Group?
All those who desire to:
• learn more about God • grow in their Christian faith • develop closer friendships with others • accept and affirm others through daily life experiences • pray and praise God in a small group setting • discover and develop their gifts and special talents for ministry • share the love of Jesus through service to others in tangible ways How can I join a group?
All of Trinity’s ChristCare Groups are open and welcoming new members. Contact any of these group leaders to learn more about their meeting places and times, as well as topics of study. Here's a current list of topics, times and places. Are you being called to lead?
