GROW
GROUPS
The early Church set a model for gathering both in the temple (large group) and in homes (small group) – See Acts 2:46. In pursuit of being a New Testament (New Covenant) Church, Blueprints Church has followed the pattern of the early Church with a two-winged model of ministry: the large group, Sunday celebration service and the small group, Grow Group gathering.
Blueprints Grow Groups are groups of approximately 10 – 20 Christians who meet together in a home on a weekly basis to study the Bible, worship the Lord through song, pray, and eat together. Grow Group gatherings vary in length but typically last about 2 hours. Many Blueprints Grow Groups provide childcare and Bible lessons for children of all ages.
