“Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20
Small groups are an opportunity for the Bethany family to be nurtured and empowered in their Christian discipleship and to reach out by inviting friends and neighbors to join them in fellowship, prayer, service, or Bible study.
People involved in Small Group Ministry watch over each other between meetings, keep each other in prayer, and encourage each other to grow in relationship with God.
Bethany has a variety of Small Group Ministries.
