Come to the
FEAST, 
where everybody knows your name.

Our Purpose  

The purpose of FEAST
is to provide a small group setting
for fellowship, study, and support.

Join the FEAST!  

What is a FEAST small group?

FEAST is the name for our new small group program and stands for, Faith Enrichment And Support Teams.  Our  small group program includes weekly groups for fellowship, study and support, and a broader scope of groups with specific interests. 

What is the purpose of a FEAST small group?

A FEAST small group is made up of 4-12 people who agree to meet on a regular basis.  When you participate in a small group you are able to build relationships through encouragement, accountability, guidance and prayer, so that all members experience life transformation through Jesus. 

In a small group setting you can share thoughts, feelings, struggles and joys.  Small groups are also a wonderful place to grow in hope and prayer while you discover ways to put Biblical truths to work in your life. 

What happens during a FEAST meeting?

Each meeting of your small group will include time for fellowship, study, and prayer concerns.  There is a person or couple who will guide and lead the group.

When do FEAST groups meet?

Each FEAST group will decide the time and day of the week to meet. 

Who is the leader of a FEAST group?

Each leader of a FEAST group has been invited to participate and meets with other FEAST leaders for learning and support.  The FEAST small group program reports to the Nurture Council.

FEAST Small Groups

Our FEAST Small Group ministry is based upon the knowledge that in small groups we learn best to relate with other Christians, develop close friendships, and can grow in our faith.

Jesus models small groups in the way he chose twelve disciples, and spent three years with them, before they became transforming the world in the name of our Savior.  Following the resurrection, as other disciples joined together for worship, the structure for their growth was in small groups.

Our own Methodist founder, John Wesley, understood the importance of small groups and the entire early Methodist movement was based upon groups who made a promise to share in fellowship and study with each other.
