A Growth Group is a small group formed with the goal that each of its members would receive the Lord as their Savior and live and grow in Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main activities of this group are prayer, studying the Word of God, and putting obedience into practice together. Each meeting usually lasts about an hour and a half. The size of each group is limited to four to eight people, and therefore offers several advantages compared with larger gatherings, such as Sunday worship services. These advantages include two-way communication, discussion, a more personal atmosphere, greater ease in expressing opinions and asking questions, and a means for accountability.<\/span><\/p>\n

The groups are divided by age, so there are groups specifically for young adults and teens, and others for adults. The materials used also vary according to need, including materials for families and married couples, parenting, understanding Christianity, learning to grow after receiving the Lord, and other topics.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
