Sunday Morning Mini-Congregations

More than a Sunday School Class!

What is a Mini-Congregation?

• A group of 15-50 people who relate to each other as a community within the larger body of Calvary Church.
• A mix of ages, sometimes organized by peer groups or similar life situations.
• A group that meets on Sunday mornings.
• A self-governed body, where people feel responsible for the life, direction, and growth of the group.
• The home base for adult individuals to feel welcomed, known, and connected.

What Does a Mini-Congregation Do?

• Study the Scriptures.
• Provide opportunities for new people to find a place to belong.
• Share burdens and prayer requests.
• Provide activities and service projects to reach our city with Jesus' love.
• Provide caring opportunities to meet physical needs (e.g., meals) of the group’s members.
• Offer informal recreational and social time with refreshments in order to cultivate relationships.
• Promote personal and spiritual growth.
