a safe place to grow in faith
Small Group Ministry
We believe the best way to grow spiritually is by joining a small group “lifeboat” to weather the storms of life together. People anywhere on their spiritual journey are welcome to join a group by calling a leader. These groups of 4-12 people meet in homes for study, prayer, and encouragement.
Why do we use the lifeboat metaphor? Well, on the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic was on her maiden voyage when she struck an iceberg. There were only lifeboats for half of the 2200 passengers. That night 1500 people perished in the icy cold waters as all the lifeboats rowed away from the Titanic. All the lifeboats except one - Lifeboat #14 rowed back and saved a handful of swimmers.At Sherwood Presbyterian, we see a small group as a Lifeboat #14 designed to rescue people from loneliness and disconnection from God and bring them into light, warmth and relationships with God and each other. We hope you'll consider joining one and then continue to bring others into your lifeboat. To join one, contact us here.
