Jesus choose twelve disciples, the early church met from “house to house,” and most New Testament ministry was carried out in small bands of Christ-followers.
Celtic Christians, the Methodist Movement, and modern-day small group and house church ministries are just some who have carried on the tradition.
It’s pretty clear that a small group component is vital to vibrant Christian community.
The Artisan Church ‘guilds’, bible studies, community groups, and ministry teams are an ideal setting to deepen our relationship with God and each other, and pursue lives of service and significance.
