We encourage spiritual friendship at Apostles through multi-generational, single-gender groups that meet bimonthly for Scripture-based study and prayer; acting as a springboard for other fellowship activities, such as meals among families and friends.
Some groups meet in homes, others at the church, each under a trained leader or two. Each group consists of 6-8 members (a minimum of four; no more than 12), with groups meeting on different days and at different times. The study for most groups this fall is “The Beatitudes” using a study guide written by John Stott. Women also have the option of participating in a koinonia group through the Tuesday morning and Wednesday night Bible Study on Hebrews, which meets on alternating weeks of the Beatitudes groups. Many women participate in both kinds of koinonias.
Meeting Dates for Fall, “Beatitudes” Groups:
Week 1: 8/30-9/2; Week 2: 9/13-9/16; Week 3: 9/27-9/30; Week 4: 10/11-10/14; Week 5: 10/25-10/28; Week 6: 11/8-11/11; Week 7: Thanksgiving throws off the rhythm: groups decide on when to meet for a second time in November; Week 8: 12/6-12/9
