Small groups are a key way that Methodists grow in their faith.
John Wesley who founded Methodism encouraged small groups where people could receive support and challenge in their faith. It was a place to be very open and willing to be changed.
Small groups have been found to be one of the most powerful ways for people to feel that they belong and to learn and grow.
These gatherings can include anything from discussing the Bible together, to meeting for coffee, to being part of a volunteer community.
It’s any group which regularly gathers together to support one another as they worship and learn about God, or live out their faith in serving others and challenging injustice.
