Every believer is called to grow in Christ, and believers grow by being equipped in their faith. We are equipped as we study the Word together, share life experiences, and serve one another. Believers are equipped through Sunday School, D-Groups, and personal devotional time )(2 Tim. 3:16-17; Eph. 2:10, 12; Acts 2:42).
Practically, we do this through:
Sunday School
Open large groups where the Bible is discussed in the context of life
D-Groups
Closed small groups of 3-5
Personal
Private personal devotion time with Jesus at home with family
In other words, every small group at FBCJ should function as a CLASSROOM, a HOSPITAL, & a LAUNCHPAD!
