winter 2017 small groups

TYPES OF SMALL GROUPS AT MYCHURCH
Signature (S1)-MyChurch Signature groups are at the core of our Small Group model. The curriculum for these groups
is meticulously selected by the church and they are intended to cover many critical topics of the Church.
Discover (D1)-MyChurch Discover groups are interest based relational groups. In a Discover group, there is no course of
study. Groups meet to have fun together and pray for each other.
Develop (D2)-MyChurch Develop groups are content driven. Groups meet together to study a book or topic that is
relevant to life.
Deepen (D3)-While all of our Small Groups foster spiritual growth, MyChurch Deepen groups are for those who are
earnestly seeking to grow in their walk with Christ. Deepen groups typically focus on a very specific topic, book of the
Bible, or curriculum.
