HOSTING A FREEDOM or GOD IS OUR REFUGE DISCUSSION GROUP
What typically happens in discussion groups?
Discussion groups typically meet weekly in homes, coffee shops or lunchrooms. Each participant reads the material on their own, then comes together to share their life experiences, what they are learning, and how to apply these truths to their lives. Groups are also encouraged to take time to worship together, pray for each other, and read the Bible.
This winter's sermon series is God is our Refuge. It will be held from January 29 to March 5, 2023. Click here for more details on this study.
A group host doesn’t need to know all the answers or be a spiritual superstar. Hosts simply guide the group’s “life application conversations.” Discussion questions are provided. Additional content is also provided weekly by Petra Small Groups Ministry to help make hosting user friendly.
How do I form a group with my friends?

Is my group open to the public?
