Care Groups are weekly small groups that gather in homes throughout South Orange County on various nights of the week. As our only church-wide weekday meeting, we value these groups as an integral part of our church life. Our Care Groups are a place where deep relationships are forged…relationships that are invaluable to our growth in the gospel and love for Christ.
Care Groups focus on studying and applying the Word of God through discussing a book of the Bible, enjoying relational accountability, and praying for one another. Throughout the year we also have nights where we all (or just the men or just the women) meet for a special time of prayer.
The aim and means of our Care Groups can be summed up with the word "C.A.R.E."
Christlikeness (Ephesians 4:11-13) through
Application of the Word (James 1:22-24)
Relational Accountability (Hebrews 3:12-13) and
Encouragement (1 Thessalonians 5:11; Ephesians 4:29)
