This is one of our main strategies to instruct, counsel and mobilize our church. It is our desire for as many as possible to be in a small community of people who are committed to helping each other grow in Christian maturity and to spreading the gospel into every sphere of life in Newberry. In short, the purpose of growth groups is to glorify God by seeing believers edified and sinners converted. These groups seek to follow a 1-4-1 pattern: 1 fellowship activity a month; 4 Bible Study sessions a month; 1 local mission a month. All are welcome and encouraged to commit to one of these groups.
