Church small groups provide a smaller, relational setting within the church where people build community, grow spiritually, and support one another as they learn and follow Jesus together. 

The Bible shows clear examples of small groups, beginning with Jesus’ close relationship with His 12 disciples and continuing in the early church, where believers regularly gathered in homes and the temple to learn the apostles’ teaching, share meals, pray, support one another, and live in close community as the Lord grew their numbers daily (Acts 2:42–47).
