HOLY TRINITY SMALL GROUPS

Welcome to Holy Trinity Small Groups!

Now is a great time to join a small group. It is a continuing way to "Elevate Holy Trinity Together." You will grow spiritually and become better acquainted with each other.

The fellowship in a small group is rewarding and you will find a caring environment to share your joys and your sorrows.

Would you like to join a small group but are hesitant to come alone? Invite a neighbor or co-worker to join you. Our small groups are open to everyone in the community.

Small groups are designed to equip disciples of Jesus Christ for ministry and mission. There are four components of a disciple that are the focus of our small group ministries:

  • Prayer --- helps one grow in the God-disciple relationship.
  • Bible Study --- allows one to learn more about scripture.
  • Fellowship --- lets people get to make new friends.
  • Service --- lets people share God's love with the community.

Worship and giving, along with the above components are what disciples of Christ are called to be and do. Being a disciple is not easy and worship and the small groups nurture the faithfil with God's grace.

Always check the weekly bulletin and the monthly newsletter to see if any of the dates and times listed in this booklet has changed

Once again I would like to thank our small group leaders who share their gifts with us. They are the important keys to the success of Holy Trinity small groups.  

Joy and Blessings to you,
Karen Feichtner
Small Group Coordinator
