Meet The Groups

Our group will be focused to share our home and love for Jesus with others.

We are committed to being home fellowship leaders because we care about the people in our church and community; and we want to help them in the Lord as much as possible.

We believe home fellowships are very instrumental in growing church membership, offering “pastoral care”
to those who need extra encouragement, improving our reputation, and in helping the youth feel they have
ownership in the meeting. I feel the Eastwood area is a critical spot that needs to maintain an HF.

We love fellowship and hosting the saints.

We believe in creating space for God to move not just in a church building, but in our home and in our
everyday lives. Our desire is for our home to be filled with His presence and to be a light in a dark world.
Leading a small group is one way we can open our doors and hearts to others, build meaningful community,
and grow together in faith.

We want our home to be used in service to the Lord and the church.

We want to strengthen the church, create a greater bond of unity, acquire a deeper understanding of God’s Word, and grow closer to Him.

We have always been leaders for Jesus during our 30+ years of being saved. The spiritual growth in our children has been, in a large part, due to HF and we support the growth of HF wholeheartedly.

HF is necessary for a healthy and vibrant church. People need a space to work through their doubts with a
community, who will read the Bible alongside them and support them in prayer.

Apostle Paul’s example, Acts 28:30, “…And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and
received all that came in unto him…” The Lord spoke to us, “Serve Him where you are.”

We believe home fellowships are valuable in helping us grow in Christ. We are working on giving pastoral
care to our members, putting a positive light on our church in the community, helping our brethren endure,
and leading the unchurched to salvation.

We and our HF members love to come together and learn about the Bible, see things from new perspectives,
encourage each other, care for each other, and grow together through ministry. We love HF and are so glad the Lord pushed us to lead the North Country HF.

We love the concept of an open forum for sharing and watching the brethren speak their hearts while also learning from others.

We want to lead people to Christ and continue with Him. Home fellowships allow us to do this in a
practical way. It was rewarding to see one of our young members become a home fellowship leader and for
our own children to grow and develop as leaders.

We want to spend time with and get to know the Brethren. Hearing testimonies and growing together in Christ has really inspired us!

Through personal experience, we became deeply aware of a group we felt compelled to reach out to - those
who have experienced trials through grief and loss, as well as those who may benefit from preparing their
hearts for it. We sensed a strong desire to open our home and create a space to share comforting testimonies
of the Lord’s grace and mercy in the midst of trials. Being a HF leader
has helped me and my mother tremendously in our healing and for me personally, it’s the best way I can
share my Poppy’s testimony and honor his legacy.

The Lord has put it on our heart to work with the age group that we are working with in our HF and we feel
that it has benefited and continues to benefit the members.

To know our members better, understanding each one’s commitment to Christ through their trials. To learn their insights and perspectives.

Home fellowships have been a huge blessing to the church and its members. God has given us the grace to support the program in this way. I feel we have a double blessing as leaders, not only to be part of the HF meeting, but also for the Spirit of the Lord to be moving in our home.

Our fellowship strives to be a safe space to share both blessings and struggles. Danielle says, “About two years [into HFs], I was asked to become the leader, and I felt so well prepared due to the camaraderie that
was built and guidance that was provided.” Julie says, “I strive to be a committed home fellowship leader,
because it was a former home fellowship leader that encouraged me to come back to church after a period away.”

Home Fellowships are a wonderful part of our Church’s ministry and we consider it a privilege to serve as
HF leaders. We also love getting to know our brethren better by having them in our home.

To serve the Lord to the best of our ability and serve the brethren; to see the Lord add the increase.

To serve my brethren by providing a comfortable, loving, warm, and caring environment for the saved and unsaved alike; to learn more about God’s Word and each other.

Home Fellowship offers a unique opportunity for people across different ages and walks of life to gather in Jesus’ name, nurture their relationship with God, and develop (or deepen) relationships with other believers.
We believe this time is essential for the growth and maturing of believers in a local church.

We believe we are called to grow in the Lord daily, and that growth doesn’t come from going our own way, but from walking together—encouraging one another, deepening our relationship with Him, and building
stronger relationships with each other.

Occupy ‘til He comes! We want to be all in and support the vision of our local church and encourage others
to do the same.

Our mission is to lead seekers to Christ and support others as they continue to grow in their personal relationship with Him. It is our hearts' desire to reach out to our neighbors, colleagues & acquaintances, and create a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable asking questions, exploring the Bible, and discovering what it means to truly know and follow Jesus.

We take the command to "love our neighbors" seriously. We think its a delight to get to know new people, especially fellow believers, and that you learn a lot by building relationships with others.

To serve my brethren by providing a comfortable, loving, warm, and caring environment for the saved and unsaved alike; to learn more about God’s Word and each other.

We desire to see when a group is on fire together. I see a great potential in taking advantage of home fellowship to increase unity and strength among a generation that is
required to serve the lord with all their heart.
