Wednesday CORE Groups

What are CORE Groups?

CORE groups are small group Bible studies divided by grade and gender that meet on Wednesdays during the school year at 6:30–8:30 p.m. in the Junior High Building. No signup is necessary, just show up and get involved.

Being involved in a CORE small group is important because small groups:

• allow students to be KNOWN
  Students can get lost in a large group, but being in a small group allows the student to be known and know others.
• make students VERBAL
  During a large group meeting, students don’t have many opportunities to ask questions or verbalize their own opinions. Small groups encourage them to openly discuss and ask questions about Scripture.
• allow students to PERSONALIZE their faith
  Small groups allow for personal application of Christianity. They allow for discussions about how the Truth can be implemented specifically in students’ lives.
• encourage ACCOUNTABLE relationships
  When a student in a small group plans to put into action a truth they learned in Scripture, a small group allows for their group to follow up and encourage them to follow through.
