Our Small Group Directory

What are Small Groups?
 
Small Groups are groups of people from The Jar that come together to form relationships and learn more about Jesus.
Most small groups include around 8-16 people.  During their meetings, they study the Bible, pray, worship, and find ways to serve the community.  Each group has a leader that facilitates the group. 
 
Why should I join a Small Group?
 
Small Groups are a great place to connect with people from The Jar and make new friends.  They provide an atmosphere
where you can open up about the issues in your life and receive prayer, encouragement, and support.  Small Groups also help you to dig deeper into the Bible and apply it to your life.
