As a church, our mission is to make, mature, mobilize and multiply disciples of Jesus Christ who will reproduce and replicate as disciple makers. This strategy has been the hallmark for the Church since the very beginning when Jesus launched His disciples into the nations. He commanded them to make disciples of all nations and teach them to obey everything that He taught. As the Church began to multiply, they were persecuted out of their city and into the surrounding cities, and then into other countries around the world.

For most of the Church’s history, small groups have been the way churches met and ministered. Small groups continue to be the most impactful way a church ministers to the body of Christ and to their local community. At FBCPTC, we want everything we do to flow out of our small groups. That simply means that all of our ministry and mission originate from not one individual but the corporate body of believers who partner together in biblical community.

Small groups come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some groups are large with a teacher, students and curriculum they study together each week. Other groups are small and use a relational, discussion-based format that is more informal. While we know groups are going to emphasize one thing over another and their size or location will vary, the main purpose of every small group is the life transformation of the people in the group. That life transformation means they are becoming more like Jesus Christ (Col. 1:28), cared for in His love by the group (Rom. 12:3-12) and challenged to be on mission as a reproducing disciple maker (2 Tim. 2:2).

We have  several opportunities for you to connect in a small group setting.
