Lake Pointe Community Church: Erie, PA
Small Groups
In a church any size, it’s quite easy to get lost in the crowd and never connect with people in deep meaningful ways. Making sure that individuals don’t fall through the cracks is one of the challenges of any church. That is why the small group ministry is a vital part of our congregation. Small groups are groups of 3-10 people who meet together on a regular basis to share in each others lives.
Small Group Beginning
Lake Pointe has had small groups since its inception. Our original groups were referred to as “home groups;” now the ministry has grown to incorporate a variety of groups for people of all ages and stages of life.
Traditional Groups
In the traditional home groups’ ministry, groups are encouraged to meet at least twice a month. During these times together, members are able to get to know each other and better share in each others lives more fully. These meetings are not necessarily Bible studies, although some groups may study the Bible. Instead they are designed as opportunities for people to experience community within the body of Christ.
Nontraditional Groups
There are also special small groups. For example, there is a men’s prayer small group on Wednesday mornings. We also have Life Transformation Groups for people who want to have deep accountability and spiritual growth partners. In addition, all of our ministry teams have groups that meet to do specific service ministry within the church.
