ABOUT SMALL GROUPS
Getting connected at New Hope Foursquare Church means
participating in a Small Group. They provide a setting to
build dynamic relationships and apply Biblical principles to
daily life. Small Groups allow New Hope to grow even closer
as a family while we grow larger as a body.
Were there Small Groups in the Bible?
The book of Acts records the tremendous growth of the first
church in Jerusalem. Small Group meetings in homes were
the foundation of the early church. Acts 5:42 tells us that
the people met “in the temple courts” (large group worship)
and from “house to house” (small group fellowship). Small
Groups were vital to the church’s growth then, and they are
just as vital now. You’ll never fully experience all that New
Hope has to offer until you connect in a Small Group!
What are the groups about?
Our Small Groups are as varied as we are; group leaders use
their gifts and passions to create a group that allows others
to join with them in serving God. Whatever your age or
interest – Bible study, dining, prayer, missions, fitness, you
name it – we’ve got a group that’s just right for you, and
they meet all throughout Salem, Keizer, and the surrounding
areas.
When can I join one?
New groups start three times a year. We offer Fall, Winter,
and Summer semesters. However, you don’t have to wait
for the new semester to start before joining a group. Most
Small Groups are open throughout the semester. Find a
group, contact a leader, and get going!
