Ten Reasons You Need To Join A Small Group

Registration for our spring semester of small groups is open right now. Here are ten reasons why you need to join a group.

1. Community matters. Faith is not a solo act. The Bible clearly teaches time and again that we need each other. There is no "go it alone" mentality in the church. God created us for community.

2. Depending on the group you choose, you have a chance to…

• learn how to apply godly wisdom in your finances.
• gain a deeper understanding of your spouse or significant other.
• seek out a Scriptural approach to your diet and health.
• be challenged by what is arguably the most important book in all of Scripture.

3. It's fun. Seriously. People in our groups have a blast.

4. There is a group that fits your schedule. We have groups on Tuesday nights, Wednesday nights, and on Saturdays.

5. All the cool people are doing it. (Going for a little positive peer pressure here.)

6. Small groups are the second step in our vision of Connecting, Growing, Serving. We have been called to grow in God and grow with others. And that happens best, not in large gatherings, but in small groups. If you are "all in" with ACC and our vision, you've gotta get into a small group.

7. Registration couldn't be easier. Go to ameliasmallgroups.com right now. You can check out each group and register for any one you want. All our groups are currently open, but any of them could fill up at anytime. Go register now.

8. Why are you still reading this? I thought you were going to go register now. Sheesh.

9. You have something to add to a group. Small groups are not just about what you gain. They're also about what you give. You have something important to contribute. Something that will bless another person or family in our church. If you're not in a group, you're keeping it to yourself. And that sounds kind of selfish.

10. We have seen more spiritual growth happen in small groups than anything else that we do. How can you not want to be part of that?
