Small Group Article: What Did I Sign Up For? - - resource for small group leaders

True to our Core Value of "intimately gathering in small groups around the city for support and encouragement," we've put together POINTgroups. These groups are the heart of Celebration! Church . . . the "focal point" of discipleship, the "exclamation point" of fellowship, and one of the main "launching points" for ministry. Just like a small change in punctuation makes a big impact on a sentence, small group ministry fosters HUGE growth and transformation on both an individual and group level. When small group ministry flourishes, Sunday services become a wonderfully intense "celebration" of what God is doing throughout the week in various groups and individual lives. We think this is a sweet foretaste of heaven!

To help understand more, here's the POINTgroup mission statement:

Through the power and working of the Holy Spirit, POINTgroups exist to grow the church through reaching people with the Gospel, teaching the Bible, growing closer to God together, and caring for people through prayer, ministry and fellowship in a safe, welcoming environment.

We desire to connect people with one another, both on campus and in the community, and equip them for life through our Celebration! POINTgroups. We want as many people as possible to be involved in just such a group. Therefore we constantly shift and change groups as well as start new ones. So here is our current line-up of POINTgroups, with more on the way.

If you'd like to be involved and there is not currently a group available to you, please let us know at info@celebrationchurch.ca .
