Welcome to the small group resource page. This page serves as the start of discovery for small groups at High Pointe Baptist Church.

What are Small Groups?

They are a group of believers who have banded together for a season in life to reach the lost, minister to the hurting and each other, and discover their leadership potential. Sure, small groups study the Word, but they do so in order to live out what they read and use it effectively to penetrate a dark world with the light of Jesus Christ . . . which is quite different from studying a passage each week for general knowledge. Small groups also have lots of fun together . . . but this fellowship is specialized in that it usually exposes unbelievers to a group of fun, Jesus-loving people. In other words, small groups even use fellowship as an evangelistic tool! And last, it wouldn't be right to call a Sunday morning classroom experience a small group. A small group should meet in a place and time that is comfortable for both the believers and unbelievers visiting, and provide enough time to share deep concerns and pray for one another. Rarely can either of these things be done within one hour at a church building, early on a Sunday morning.
Small group members meet weekly in homes, factory break rooms or the back area of a local restaurant. The meeting place is not as important as convenience, time and space issues. Group members find the best place to minister to one another and make evangelistic plans to touch the lost. This is where small group members and unbelievers experience "the Christ within and in the midst" with other believers, or animmanent expression of Christ.

Small Groups also come together with other groups as a local church body at celebration services, usually held once a week. There is corporate worship, solid teaching from God's Word, and a time for pastoral ministry. This is where small group members and unbelievers experience the transcendent expression of Christ.

Both gatherings are vital for success! The small group meets to experience Christ's love through others in a warm setting. The celebration service (the gathering of small groups) is to experience God in high worship and to receive teaching from His Word. One without the other would not fulfill all God has for His people.
