What are small groups? Small Groups are groups of 3 - 15 people meeting together on a regular basis to grow spiritually and share life together. At Tri-County Church we have various groups that meet at various times throughout the week. There are mixed groups with people at different stages of life, men's groups, women's groups, etc.

Getting connected to a small group is not a complicated process. Here are some possible steps to get started:

1. Check out the small groups listing below, then contact the leader of the group that interests you.

2. Check off "small group" on your communication card.

3. Call Pastor Steve and let him know of your interest.

4. Attend a small groups link event and connect with a group there.

5. Create your own group. Meet with Pastor Steve, then recruit a few friends. Training and support included.

Ten Reasons to Join a Small Group:

10. Because you're tired of singing, "I am a rock, I am an island..."

9. Because big things happen in small groups.

8. Because you're having a hard time finding Hezekiah in your Bible.

7. Because you'd like there to be some truth to the saying, " You've got a friend in Pennsylvania."

6. Because you've maxed your gigabytes and are poised to crash your hard drive.

5. Because you need to know that you're normal and that others are facing similar struggles as you.

4. Because you could use a little structure and accountability to help you stay spiritually on track.

3. Because there's a group out there that needs what you have to offer.

2. Because you've seen way too many Sienfeld reruns, you've worn the numbers off the remote, and you need to get off the couch.

1. Because growing and connecting are good things.
