Jesus trained disciples in two environments: a small group of 12 and larger groups that were open to any one. We have both small and large group classes available as part of our LIFE Group/Teaching Division. They are a great place to learn, get connected, and develop friendships here at Memorial Park. Teams meet regularly and "do life together" as they:
- study the Bible together;
- pray for one another;
- offer mutual encouragement;
- do an occassional service project together;
- care for teammates and their households when members are in the hospital or grieving a loss;
- eat together occasionally with spouses or guests;
- encourage the children of fellow teammates;
- enjoy occasional fun outings like a movie night or a sporting event;
- and more!
