Life-change happens in small groups. <\/strong>That\u2019s been a value held at Curwensville Alliance for over a decade \u2014 and these days, it\u2019s becoming part of our DNA.<\/p>\n

Small Groups happen in a variety of places \u2014 in people\u2019s homes, in restaurants, and right here at the church location on Susquehanna Avenue.<\/p>\n

What to Expect<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you choose to participate in a small group, you can expect to hear others discuss life-issues from a biblical perspective. The leader of a small group doesn\u2019t lecture, but encourages conversation around a given subject.<\/p>\n

Topics include things like <\/strong>parenting, marriage, finances, personal matters, biblical spirituality, prayer, grace, managing emotions, encouraging others, life-purpose, and biblical content.<\/p>\n

Kinds of Groups<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some small groups are ones you can come and go from week to week \u2014 like the Wednesday Prayer Group. Others require that you get a book and come prepared to engage the material that will be presented. Each small group commits to do several things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Meet together weekly.<\/li>\n
  2. Maintain an atmosphere of commitment and confidentiality within the group.<\/li>\n
  3. Spend time, as a group, in prayer.<\/li>\n
  4. Focus primarily on study material that is explicitly Christian and biblical.<\/li>\n
  5. Reflect the mission of Curwensville Alliance: To Know God and Make Him Known.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Leaders of Small Groups are approved by the Disciplemaking Ministries Committee.<\/p>\n
