Everyone needs strong relationships. Families, neighborhoods, schools and communities used to be a reliable source for providing a healthy network of relationships. Today, these support systems are in distress. Broken families are commonplace. Neighbors tend to keep to themselves. Schools are less safe. People uproot frequently. The result is that the need for meaningful relationships has never been felt more acutely. This is where Urban small groups come in.
Small groups are a vital part of the larger Urban Refuge community. A small group is like having your own family within the larger church. Groups are made up of 10-20 people who get together in members' homes during the week. In a small group you participate in relevant biblical discussions that will help you grow in your relationship with God. This happens as you learn together how to apply the teachings of the Bible to your daily living. You also develop close friendships as you spend time “doing life” together.
You can visit the information table at the weekend service to pick up a brochure listing open groups or contact the office at 612-33-URBAN. We have four categories of groups for you to choose from:
