| Studies
prove it and people know it --- when we are connected and contribute
to a small group, we feel we belong to the larger congregation and
to the even larger community of believers. An informal and regualr
gathering of a small group of faith friends is a comfortable place
to tell our stories, listen to others, learn to pray together, and
share care. Small
groups stress relationships: to one another, to God, to the Christian
church, and to newcomers. Living in a connected community with others
is God's plan --- and His gift for us! |

While every small group includes
the four components, groups vary in focus. At the present, Shepherd
has the following kinds of groups:
- Relationship-focused.
This group's primary focus is on the spiritual and/or social relationships
among its members.
- Content-focused.
This kind of group's focus is study and discussion.
- Task-focused. This
group wants to accomplish a defined task, mission, or assignment.
- Need-focused. Sometimes
called a support group, this focus is around a common need among
the members.
