"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the
breaking of bread and to prayer. Every day they continued to meet together
in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with
glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the
people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being
saved." - Acts 2:42,46-47
The Home Groups Ministry exists to help foster and facilitate the type of community
within our church like that described in the first century church in the book of Acts. We
encourage authentic community-building at Southwest by plugging people into small
groups where we can share our lives with each other.
"The key to church health is that a church must grow larger and smaller at the same
time." - Rick Warren
If you're looking for a place where you can get to know other people and have others care
about you, you will find that in our home groups. Besides just getting together once a
week for Bible study and fellowship, members of our home groups enjoy rich relationships
with others that goes well beyond just casual Sunday morning acquaintances.
"The development of meaningful relationships where every member carries a significant
sense of belonging is central to what it means to be the church." - Randy Frazee
Studies have shown that there is something within each of us that draws us to other
believers and creates a need to belong.
"We [as Americans] are physically detached from each other. We change places of
residence frequently. One survey revealed that seven in ten do not know their neighbors.
As many as one-third of Americans admit to frequent periods of loneliness." - George
Gallup, Jr.
To get involved in a home group, you can contact one of the group leaders directly or ask
Jimmie Hackworth at homegroups@swcchurch.org. You can find a list of the groups in
each Sunday's bulletin or on our website and you can use our map in the foyer to find a
group near you. After participating in a home group for a while, you may even discover
that you'd like to open up your own home for a new group. If so, let us know. We're
always looking for new host homes!
