Group Life
We know that the sign out front says “church” but that sign just helps people find the building. The real church is the people. We are what the church should be when we talk to our friends about what matters in our lives or give the hungry something to eat or visit the sick the night before their surgery. We may only have one sign out front, but we have lots of ways for you to be “the church.” We believe you will grow in your faith and grow in your relationships when you get involved through a small group, a support group, or in service.

COMMUNITY GROUPS
God knows we need each other. Throughout Scripture and history, God has brought people together to show the world what love and redemption looks like. Whether it’s the story of Israel, the church, or your life, relationships matter. We believe our best shot at spiritual growth happens in the context of sharing our lives together. When we have conversations over coffee, study together around living rooms, or we remember and recall over dinner.
Community Groups at SouthBrook are small groups of people interested in getting together for the purpose of relationship–building, prayer, Biblical study and serving. There are community groups made up of young married couples with or without children, single people of all ages, seniors, friends, neighbors—there’s no one example that captures a “typical” community group. If you are ready to be challenged in your faith and want to join others in figuring out what it means to “live like Jesus forever,” you need to try this out. Listen as Jerry and Fae Ochs share their story about getting connected in a group. For more information or to get connected in a small group, please contact Rita Brown.
Check out the Group Life Resources in our Solomon's Porch Bookstore. The materials are available at no cost to be used by individuals or within a small group.

WOMEN'S MINISTRY
Helping women experience a truly abundant life by being able to perceive and recognize God’s power, authority, majesty, mercy, love and grace. Our hope is that women will grow closer to Jesus, accept and belong to Him. We want women to become strong in Him in order to serve Him and in turn, serve others. That’s what discipleship is all about.
The Women’s Ministry is dedicated to encouraging Bible study, prayer, service and fellowship. We believe Bible study is the foundation for women to grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ and eventually, serve Christ by encouraging other women to grow. Serving Christ is a sacred calling, not just a job. Listen as a group share their story about getting connected in the Women's Ministry. The Women's Ministry meets on Thursdays from 9–11 a.m. and 6:30–8:30 p.m. for Bible study. Check the Events page for upcoming Bible studies and women's events.
