Five core values of our small group ministrys: 1. Provide a safe place of connection. (What happens in a support group stays in a support group – with the exception of life-threatening behaviors that a support group leader would need to report to proper authorities.) 2. Provide a place of cultivation that prepares people for God to work in their lives, allowing them to grow closer to him and each other. 3. Provide a place of commitment, where people eventually can find purpose in their pain by giving back in ministry. 4. Provide a place of compassion. "Compassion evangelism is an amazing event to watch take place," Hilliker said. "When someone comes out to one of our support groups, whatever they're going through, we want them to experience the love and compassion of Christ. People are literally loved into the Kingdom through compassion." 5. Provide a place of Christ-centered care. Christ is our foundation, the core of what we do. |
