Small Groups

    Believing that discipleship and evangelism are activities best carried out in a community context, small groups provide that context. They are gatherings of 6 to 12 people meeting in homes and apartments throughout the city during the week.
   In Small Groups, people come to know God and to experience His presence, community is developed and fostered, and people are nurtured, equipped and released for God's work in the world. They provide an opportunity for intimacy, mutual support, practical love and service. We try to train lay leaders from the congregation and give them on-going support.
   Small groups are the primary place for pastoral care at New City Fellowship. In a church our size it is not easy to keep track of each other. On a Sunday morning it is easy to overlook people or for people to feel lost. Therefore, attending New City on Sunday morning is not enough for your Christian life. Every Christian needs fellowship, encouragement, support and accountability. To become a part of a church, you need a network of friends. Our Small Groups are such a network and act as the nervous system of our church.
