Interesting that you find this information on the "home" page -- because, in essence, that is what small groups are all about: an opportunity to be at-home, feel connected, and find meaningful relationships within the larger context of "church". At TLC, we believe that holding each other dear is critical to our growth and health as a church community and as followers of Jesus Christ.

You'll see many references to "taking root" or the idea of "flourishing". Because that is what we believe happens when we are actively involved in a small group here at TLC.

This website is home to a great deal of information and material relevant to Small Group Ministry at TLC. On this page is our vision for this ministry. And, in other locations, you find small group resources, a non-exhaustive list of current small group opportunities, and contact information to help you get and stay connected.

We hope you will find the information you need. Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or insights.

-Blessings,

Small Group Coordinators, Daniel Stillwell and Mark Wakefield

Looking for an easy, daily Bible application that you can access either online or download it to your phone? Wanting to find something that could easily work as a small group study? We encourage you to think about YouVersion - it's a great application that can be used to start a new small group community, provide a new study for existing groups or both. It also can help you improve your personal connection to Jesus Christ. Per their site, "YouVersion creates biblically centered, culturally relevant experiences that encourage and challenge people to seek God throughout each day. "

MINISTRY VERSES

Acts 2:42

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

Ephesians 3:14-19

14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
