Back of Bulletin: Small Groups

 

If you call CVBC your church home and you want community, you are encouraged to join a small group!

 

· Small Groups at CVBC focus on building deeper relationships with fellow believers. We do this by providing a smaller community as we pray together, study the Bible, and challenge each other to grow in our faith and reliance on God in all  aspects of life.

· Small groups often discuss the most recent sermon, or other books of Scripture, and focus on applying it to their lives.

· Small groups prioritize prayer and shouldering one another’s burdens in life.

· Small groups have a goal of meeting at least 2x per month.

· Small groups meet at various times, days, and locations throughout the year.
