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

Small Groups happen in a variety of places — in people’s 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’t 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 — like the Wednesday Prayer Group. Others require that you get a book and come prepared to engage the material that will be presented.\u00a0Each 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:\u00a0To Know God and Make Him Known.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

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