Spiritual Formation
We offer many opportunities for adults to connect at Emmanuel!
While we need our corporate gatherings of worship and teaching, people do not really become known in crowds. Our adult class during the Sunday Discipleship Hour and Bible Studies during the week (see here) remain important spaces to make social connections and study the Word with 10-20 other disciples, but the context is still too large to really feel comfortable going deeper. We trust that growing disciples of Jesus are desperate for a smaller, deeper, more honest context where they can experience transformation, share their faith journey, reflect on mission, and receive encouragement.
Joining a Small Group
5-7 disciples meet weekly to engage in transformational questions and to pray for one another. In today’s busy world it can be challenging to find a consistent time each week to meet. A quiet place like someone’s home or a room in the church can allow everyone to feel safer when sharing, but plenty of groups may prefer to meet at a coffee shop or restaurant. They aim to meet 10 times each semester. Registration for groups are open in August and January each year.
There is no preparation required. Simply be ready to share in these questions together:
- How is it with your Soul?
- What are your successes and struggles
- How might the Word and Spirit be speaking in your life?
