Our Purpose for Small Groups

To provide a dynamic nurturing environment of 6-12 persons where people can receive support and friendship, learn something new and grow to maturity in Jesus Christ.

What is a Small Group?

FaithPoint has small groups for service, study, support or fellowship and many groups provide all of these in some form. Our groups come in all shapes and sizes. Don't see anything that fits your schedule or interests? Contact Pastor Tim at 301-473-7181, for more information or to start your own group.

STUDY & SUPPORT-ORIENTED GROUPS

These groups focus on studying God's word, through the Bible and other books or videos. They also provide support for one another and may occasionally do service projects. Small groups are getting back in full swing for Fall/Winter 2009.
