Small Groups We believe in the power of small groups. No one reaches their full potential in life without the help of others. True community happens in small groups of believers committed to each other. The Bible commands us in Hebrews 10:24-25 to meet together to motivate each other toward love and good works. Small groups committed to vulnerability and transparency can be places of growth, healing and renewal. Below is a listing of some of the groups that are currently meeting at Bethlehem United Methodist Church or in homes.
