JOIN A SMALL GROUP!
At Amity Bible Church, relationships are foundational to who we are. Our goal is to be a church where no one stands alone and we strive to develop disciples in the context of small groups. Our small groups provide a place to belong, to disclose, and to be your authentic self. We believe life is better when it is lived together so we encourage all Amity stewards to get plugged into a small group.

FAQS
If you’re a part of an existing group, i.e. Sunday School, ushers, etc., you become “official” when your group incorporates a Spiritual component (Discipleship), a Fellowship component, an outreach component (Service), and operate as a family that keeps in touch with each other (Accountability).
The common denominator is the execution of the four Small Group characteristics, Discipleship, Service, Fellowship, and Accountability.
Facilitator training can be conducted on an as needed basis for anybody willing to assume the role. The initial training is less than two hours, can be conducted in-person or on-line, with assistance as needed as facilitation is executed.
