Small Groups
Connecting with others in a smaller setting allows us to go deeper in our faith and connections. We believe small groups are a vital way to grow in Christ.
Why Life Groups
We believe transformation happens through community. Life Groups are designed to create deeper pods of community where members can share life and grow together.
What will we do in the group?
Each Life Group meeting will be made up of four parts, connecting, growing, practicing and praying. The Weekly Discussion Guide will use this format and provide questions in each of these categories:
1. Welcome and Connect (20 minutes)
This section is designed to build community and group intimacy
2. Grow Together (25 minutes)
In this section, the group will open Bibles and engage with sermon-based discussion questions
3. Practice (10 minutes)
Practices will be offered to challenge participants to go deeper. Sometime should be taken to explore what this practice looks like and to discuss how it might be accomplished. These are not designed to be homework assignments.
4. Pray (5 minutes)
Groups will pray for each other and our community to close each time together.
How long does the group last?
Life Groups will meet for 10 weeks starting the week of January 18 and ending the before March 28. New Life Groups will be offered two quarters each year (spring and fall). Groups may continue to meet after the session ends if they choose.
What is the required commitment?
We hope that those who participate in Life Groups will make best efforts to come to most of the meeting times. We believe that this will help with building group repour and will enable participants to get the most out of this opportunity.
Where/when do they meet?
Meeting times and locations will be determined by the group leaders. We hope to offer a variety of groups at various times and locations to allow maximum participation from congregants wanting to participate.
How can I sign up?
Opportunities to sign up will happen three weeks before each new Life Group session. Sign-ups will be available in the church narthex as well as online at our website. Participants will be able to sign up for the group that meets their needs for timing, and type of group. Look for sign-ups starting Jan 1, 2026.
How can I become a Life Group leader?

LADIES BIBLE STUDY/FELLOWSHIP HISTORY AND CURRENT INFORMATION:
Fifteen years ago, 8 ladies at MPC were meeting in the back classroom for Bible Study. We did ‘Bible 101’, learning how to traverse the history, the narrative, poetry, prophecy, gospels and letters. We colored our Bibles until we found ‘Bible index’s’. We started at the basic “in the Beginning GOD” and moved forward. Putting the puzzle pieces together as we went. We had a ‘very large notebook’! We grew to outgrow ‘the blue room’.
We moved to the SANCTUARY, sat at tables for 8-9 and welcomed our friends and neighbors to join us. It took us 3 years to study Daniel. We also included Revelation along the way plus other prophets. We numbered 80 beautiful ladies. We could not offer childcare which kept our ages in the grandma range. Some moms or grand moms enrolled the little ones in ‘Joyful Journey’. We learned to operate the sound system and included DVDS AND
MANY PROPS. Margot, one of our facilitators, had to step away over health issues. Gerry our hostess with the most-ess moved to be with family.
We miss both of them greatly.
Covid closed us down for a few months until some women came to request ‘Small Group Bible Studies’ in our home. If they wanted a place and a startup, we were willing also. So, we meet every other week with 3 groups (15 each) for 45 women, some on the 1st and Third Tuesdays 9:30, others 2nd and 4th Tuesdays 9:30 and 2nd and 4th Wednesday's afternoon 1:00. We can also begin another afternoon class/gathering before we cap it off or move back to the Sanctuary.
I have spent my whole mature years (55 years) studying the Bible, teaching and facilitating the understanding of the words written in the Bible for us to know. Even attending the Institute of Holy Land Studies in Jerusalem, Israel.
Only Jesus saves our souls, yet the Bible reveals the God most high and His plan to save. It gives us the only HOPE we have in this troubled world. While knowledge does not in itself save us from eternal peril, it helps us come to the one and only God of all creation who does! It teaches us to be strong and courageous in Jesus’ Spirit.
At 85, I live day by day praising our Savior for continued breath and I desire to leave my deepest ‘HOPE in JESUS for everyone who will listen. We welcome ALL who desire to know the power of God, revealed in His plan, to come join us. This BIBLE is the most remarkable piece of literature ever written ‘for His own to know’. No prior knowledge required, just an open heart, a hungry soul. Do you want to deepen your faith. These ladies are very special. They will welcome you.

If you have ever wondered “What is the world coming to?” Come join the Adult Education Class as we complete our study of Biblical End-Time Prophecy and prepare for a deep dive into the final book of the Bible, The Revelation of Jesus Christ. We will pick-up with the prophetic words of Christ found in the synoptic Gospels and those of the Apostles before focusing on the Book of Revelation. Class resumes on September 7 in the Library. For question see Dave Farler or Patti MacArthur. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it, for the time is near. Rev 1:3
