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.

STARTS 9/7! A Study of Discipleship, Grace and the Believer's Response

Sunday Mornings 9:30 – 10:30am | begins Sept 7 | Conference Room

Leaders: Jason Evans, Bill Kroah and Craig Wilson

This class will be a six- or eight-week study of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus; our response to His grace and the strange notion of Paul's "obedience of faith."  We will see these issues through the eyes of Dietrich Bonhoeffer who lived during the Nazi takeover of the German church. There will be a selection of his writings and related study of Scripture. Click here for the study guide that we will use.

STARTS 9/7! Discipleship Explored Small Groups

Discipleship Explored helps followers of Jesus turn up the gospel soundtrack to their lives.  It's easy to make a list of the things Christians do - go to church, read the Bible, pray, share the gospel - but that doesn't really tell us much about what the experience of following Jesus is actually like. That's where Discipleship Explored comes in, and it will be the focus of our sermon series this fall beginning Sept 7.

Small Groups will begin the week of 9/7 and end the week of 10/26 (an 8-week study) and will meet at church and in homes on a variety of days throughout our communities (see list below). We recommend getting the Discipleship Explored study guide and will have both hard copy and PDF versions available.  If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Jeff (pastorjeff@neelsville.org).
