First Lutheran sees the importance of following the New Testament biblical model of the church when the Christians met in small groups.
"They worshipped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper and shared their meals with great joy and generosity-all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of the people. And each day the Lord added to their group those who were being saved." Acts 2:46-47
At a time when personal Christian faith is constantly being challenged, we are providing several opportunities for you to join a small group for spiritual growth, support and fellowship. The following small groups are available.
