Study Groups
New Opportunities this Winter, 2010 Contact Pauline K. at congreg_life@hopefellowship.ca for more information.
Connecting With God's Family
If you would like to try out being in a small group, you are welcome to just show up at the church on the 2nd or 4th Sunday evening of the month, and you will be invited into a small group setting with others. The six session study is entitled Connecting With God's Family and will help you connect more deeply with Jesus Christ and build genuine relationships with Christian friends. God longs for you to have a rich and genuine relationship with Him and other people. Christ’s love makes it possible for you to be known and to know others, to love and be loved, to resolve conflict naturally, and to go deeper in your connections with one another. Whether you are creating a new circle of friends or deepening your current relationships, God is drawing you nearer. You belong together.

Men’s Discussion Group
Connecting regularly, these men are responding to God’s call to be the Church in the world in which we live. Their topic of discussion includes: “The way we are currently doing church has had limited impact on an increasingly far from Christ culture… (a less then 10% market-share in Canada and decreasing) If we are to take the Great Commission seriously, it would be safe to say the status quo is no longer acceptable. Other than the odd shuffling of sheep, the way we’re doing church is bearing very little fruit. If this is indeed the case, then we must consider the way we do church in a radically different way, and the first step may just be to consider BEING the church.”
