Small Groups
What is a Faith Group?
Small Groups at Messiah are more than just a Bible study. We intentionally live life together building meaningful relationships in order to help each other grow in Christ, worship together, serve others, and care for others in authentic relational community. We want that for you!
Step into a Small Group experience to find a place to belong. For more information about Small Groups and how to get connected to a group that is right for you, contact Heather Felt.
Each of these groups has a chair waiting for you:
New! LENTEN STUDY – Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws
You are invited to join Pastor Tami and Pastor Bethany for a 6-week Zoom Lenten study of the Gospel of Luke. Through Luke’s stories, we find Jesus’ care and compassion for all, as he welcomes sinners and outcasts. This Zoom Lenten study is specially designed for our online community – join us Wednesday nights March 1-April 5, 6:45-7:45 pm CT. Click here for more information, and to sign up and receive the Zoom link.
The book we’re following for this study is Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws by Adam Hamilton. Need a copy? The book is available on Amazon, through your favorite book store, or by contacting Heather Felt at hfelt@messiahchurch.org. The cost of the hardcover book is $20.
