Small Groups 

Small Groups

And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I'll be there.  Matthew 18:20

For 2000 years, small groups have met in homes to deepen and apply their faith to the teachings of Jesus Christ. At Morning Star, your small group will be your church family--the people who will encourage, support, and care for you. At Morning Star, our goal is to be a church of small groups rather than a church with small groups. In other words, it's through small groups that the ministry of our church is lived out. To talk with someone about Small Groups, please stop at the Connection Center after any worship service, or contact Linda Sullivan.

Turbo Groups

Turbo Groups meet on the MSC Campus and are designed to be temporary--an opportunity for people unfamiliar with small groups to kick the tires a bit. It's our desire that Turbo Group participants will have a positive experience, see the value of small groups, and eventually desire to join--or lead--a group that meets in a home.

The basic difference between a Turbo Group and an in-home small group is all about the threshold. Turbo Groups meet in a classroom, which can feel more formal and structured. Being welcomed across the threshold of someone's home, however, feels warm and inviting. Community happens in small groups; that's where relationships form and we become a church family.
