WHY SHOULD I JOIN A SMALL GROUP?

We do better at life when we are connected with a group that experiences accountability, belonging, and care. To grow spiritually you must be connected relationally. If you want to grow in your relationship with Jesus, you need to have intentional relationships with people who have the same goal—and HOP Small Groups are the ideal place for that. Connected people go further faster.

Small Groups are a place where you, as a member, will be encouraged to grow in prayer, worship, and in the knowledge and application of the Word of God.
Small Groups provide a safe place to bring your friends and relatives who may have reservations about attending a church service.
Being in a Small Group also makes you part of a team that works together to win souls and makes disciples throughout our region.
We have a small group network that models the early church. These groups are dispersed throughout the region and meet at different times throughout the week.
