Small Groups are designed to build relationships through common interests. They exist to create connection points between those who regularly attend Lighthouse Church. At the same time, small groups gives us a chance to go and make disciples and be a point of light for our community. Attending a small group is a great way to build faith, connect with others, and have a ton of fun.

WHAT IS A SMALL GROUP?
A small group is a way that we connect with each other, build the kingdom, and make disciples according to the mission of Matthew 28:19. Groups look like many different things- Bible studies, coffee meetups, sports groups, and community focused initiatives. |

WHY DO WE NEED SMALL GROUPS?
Once Jesus left the earth bodily, his disciples began going from people to people, meeting in houses, and forming small groups of followers that changed the world. The small group model still works today. In smaller groups, we can connect with each other and give our community a glimpse of the kingdom at work in Jackson. |
