Top 10 Reasons to Join a Small Group (TLC)


Our summer small group session begins the second week of May and goes through mid-July. We are offering 26 TLCs for you to choose from, each covering a different theme or topic.  You may be wondering why we think it is important to join a small group.  Here are the top 10 reasons to join a TLC: 

10. Receive encouragement from other people doing their best to follow Jesus.

9. Give encouragement to others trying to follow Jesus, each at different points along the journey.

8. Get to know some great people deeply….more than just: “what are your plans for the summer?” acquaintances.

7. Understand the Bible better and learn how to apply it to your life.

6. Share the burden. Benefit from having others pray for you regularly.

5. Feel the freedom to share openly, knowing that the concerns of your heart will not feed into that week’s gossip circle.

4. Experience the joy of serving alongside your friends.

3. Receive loving accountability in problem areas of your life.

2. Get off the “spiritual island”: thinking that you're all alone in the struggle for holiness.

1. Develop relationships that will last a lifetime.

Any one of these reasons is a good enough reason by itself for you to join a TLC.  We are praying for you to experience God at a whole new level these next 10 weeks.  But there are only two more weeks of sign- ups before it is too late and the TLC is closed for the summer! (TLC sessions are different now, you can’t just drop in and out, you need to sign up for a session).


(On the contact form, list the TLC or the TLC leader that you would be interested in joining).
