Growth Groups

Hi, I’ m Jenny McQuiggin, Associate Pastor for Integration.  Growth Groups are a major component in the life of Belconnen Baptist Church.  This page helps to explain a bit about our Growth Groups.

What is a Growth Group?

A small gathering of people, usually 8-10 participants, who meet regularly to encourage one another spiritually and to reach out to others who do not yet know God.

Why do we need Growth Groups?

Often it is difficult to get involved in a church, especially when the congregation is a large one.  One way to develop meaningful relationships with other people is by joining one of our Growth Groups which are an integral part of our life together at Belconnen Baptist.  The Growth Group is a caring environment in which you will experience God, along with others in the group, and discover opportunities for service.

What do you gain from being in a Growth Group?

Through Growth Groups people are able to:

• Connect with God “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind.” (Luke 10.27a GNB)
• Connect with each other “Love your neighbour as yourself.” (Luke 10.27b)
• Connect with the world ” Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them… and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matt 28. 19-20 NIV)

When do Growth Groups meet?

Groups meet on a regular basis, either weekly or fortnightly, on various nights of the week and there are also a few daytime groups.  Growth Group members often spend time together in social activities, or doing something practical to meet a specific need in the community.

Where do Growth Groups meet?

Most of our groups meet in people’s homes.
