LIFE Groups
WHY do you do small groups?
One of the goals at Dallas Bible Church is for every member/attendee to be in a caring community (Core Value #2: We will invest our lives in loving others, because one way to true-life change happens in community. Small groups are one of the most ideal ways to become part of Biblical community.
WHAT is a small group?
Small groups are groups of 10-14 men, women or married couples that meet weekly throughout the Dallas metroplex area. Small groups focus on the four core values that can lead to becoming a passionate follower of Christ: Love (Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength), Invest (Invest our lives in loving others), Follow (Follow Christ to become like Him), and Engage (Engage the world with Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit). When you commit to a small group, you commit not only to the study but also to care for and meet the needs of other group members. The real difference between a Small Group and a Bible study happens outside of group time. Our hope is that your small group will become your closest friends and people you will turn to in time of need.
HOW do I get connected to a small group?
Visit the Connect Kiosk after any Sunday morning worship service. The Connect Kiosk is located in the lobby right outside the worship center. It usually takes about two weeks for us to get you connected to a group and we will be in touch throughout the process.
WHAT happens in a "typical" small group meeting?
Every small group has its own personality, but some common elements happen in most group meetings. Groups typically spend some time building relationships and getting to know each other. Groups also do a study together. Some groups focus strictly on the Bible while others rotate through Biblical and topical studies. Studies are chosen by the group and approved by the small group leader and staff. Prayer is also a key element to typical group meetings. Many people find that praying in groups is their favorite part of group life. A typical group meeting lasts 1.5 to 2 hours.
WHAT is the duration of a group?
Our model is for people to build long-term relationships with others and share community with new people as well. We understand that people will not be in groups forever, however, it is common for them to be together for at least 1-2 years. We also encourage those in groups to start another group with people that God has brought into their lives and enable us to reach more people in the Dallas metroplex area.
