Community & Relationship
Are you connected? One of the primary ways we build relationships and cultivate fellowship with each other at Edgewood Bible Church is through a network of small groups that we call “care groups.”
Purpose
Application of God’s Word to Our Lives
Merely hearing God’s word is insufficient; we must apply it to our lives for there to be fruit. Care groups enable us to do this together. We seek to apply the Bible’s teaching, review Sunday messages, discuss Christian books, and use a variety of other resources with the intention of growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Pursuit of Biblical Fellowship
Genuine fellowship isn’t practical in a large group. Care groups provide a place where we can build intimate relationships, care for one another, and help each other grow in our relationship with God.
Ministry to One Another
God has made us dependent on each other, and care groups provide a context where we can minister to each other with the gifts that God has given us. Meetings often include times of prayer for one another and opportunities for individuals to exercise spiritual gifts for the edification of others.
