Do you want to start your own small group?If you’d like to start a small group, it’s as easy as asking! We want to expand our small groups and need your input. Is there a group you’ve been wanting to start (or even be a part of), but haven’t known how to take the next step? Now is the time for you to take ownership of your passions and need for fellowship! If you would like to start a new group or share an idea for one, simply email them to Pastor Jon at [email protected].

Need Ideas?We’re looking for groups that meet your needs. So the question is, what are you looking for? Here are a few ideas to help you start brainstorming. • Culinary Group: This group would meet to hang out, cook or share

• Outreach Group: We all know our purpose as Christians is to reach those outside the walls of the church. There are incredible opportunities to serve our community all throughout the St. Louis area. This would be a great way to connect with others and serve our community at the same time!

• Book Group: This group could go through a certain book a month, such as Lisa Bevere’s “Lioness Arising.” It would help

provide accountability and an arena to disucss and support what
