What are Small Groups? Glad you asked. In fact, here are some answers to a few questions you may have:
Why do we do small groups?
At Harvest Bible Chapel our focus is on the quality of discipleship. We encourage those in our fellowship to "get connected" by plugging into one of our small groups. The purpose of these groups is to minister to and encourage one another in daily devotionals, effective prayer and mutual accountability.
What does a small group look like?
A typical small group meeting consists of a praise and prayer time, Bible study, mutual accountability time (men with men, women with women) and fellowship. The biblical curriculum is common to all groups. Meetings are approximately two and a half hours in length and are usually held from 7:00 to 9:30 pm.
When and where do groups meet?
These groups meet weekly, three to four times per month, at the church and in host couples' homes. We have small groups meeting from Sunday evenings through Friday evenings in several locations across Brampton.
How can I join a small group?
First, read our doctrine statement available online or in the visitor’s welcome package at the reception desk.
Then, attend 'Party with the Pastors’. This gives you an opportunity to hear about our beginnings, meet some of the staff and leadership members and hear about our doctrine and vision.
Attendance at ‘Peak Performance’ is also an important step in getting connected in a small group. This class outlines the mandate that we have as believers to be worshiping, walking and working for Jesus Christ.
Once you've completed both Party with the Pastors and Peak Performance, then you're welcome to Sign up for a small group online to be placed in the next available Small Group.
We take our commitment to Small Groups very seriously, so please see our Small Group Member Covenant so you're ready to get fully involved.
