We all long for a better understanding of God's Word, a more meaningful experience of fellowship, and the companionship of like-minded believers. The good news for us is that the Lord has provided us with great tools to draw nearer to Him and to better understand His word and His will.


For most Christians, the church becomes most real in a small group setting. Principles and ideas are best absorbed through discussion with a few friends. Our joys and concerns are most easily spoken and most fervently prayed for with a few familiar faces. People are more genuine, discussions are more thoughtful, care and compassion become evident.


God has designed us to share our faith and our journeys with a small group of friends. We want you to have that experience! Neelsville offers a wide range of small groups and classes, and we encourage you to connect! These include weekly or bi-weekly small groups, Bible studies, and classes. Some are for men, some for women, some for youth, some for couples, some for anyone at all. Some meet online while others meet in person.  Most of these groups have 5-15 members, and include time to share and catch up, time to pray together, and a study our lesson together.


We invite you to join any of the classes, Bible studies and small groups listed below! Contact office@neelsville.org for more information.

How to Share the Gospel with Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses

Sunday Mornings 9:30 – 10:30am | Conference Room

Leader:  Craig Wilson & Michele Kelly  

Come and see a new Sunday morning class on what Mormons (LDS’ers) and Jehovahs Witnesses (JWs) believe and how our Reformed tradition as Presbyterians differs. We’ll see how to share the gospel of God with these folks whom God loves. We’ve likely been visited by LDS and JW folk and not felt competent to listen and speak to them. If this is you, “come and see” how we can share and make Jesus known from Scripture and the Spirit.
