"To answer the question posed by that title, [Why Small Groups?], let me present what I see to be 4 clear goals from Scripture:
progressive sanctification
mutual care
fellowship
and
the ministry of the Holy Spirit."

C.J.Mahaney, 'Why Small Groups?

"Our primary goal for both Growth Groups and Wednesday Night Fellowship is to experience Christ in our midst in His presence and power. We want Him to be at work by His Spirit ministering to us and through us to one another to the end that people are cared for and encouraged to live God-pleasing lives. We want Christ to transform and change our lives."
