“…Aquila and Prisicilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.”
1 Corinthians 16:19
For more than a decade, our congregation has held Small Groups meeting in homes. Our eldership, the congregation, our trained cadre of Small Group Servant Leaderships and all of the participants in our Small Group Ministry are excited that you are reviewing this material. This Ministry and all those involved are focused upon very simple but powerful tenets:
We are extremely blessed with 30 trained Small Group Servant Leaders prepared to lead and energize discussions built around our personal and Christian community-based relationships with Jesus Christ and each other.
To continue building Christ-Like relationships through Christian community while growing closer to God and one another.
To build Christ-like relationships through Christian community in Small Groups (6 to 12 adults) while growing closer to God, each other and, on a parallel track, growing the congregation through the Empty Chair Technique each week in every small group forum. And, to pursue humility, servanthood, and personal, Christ-centered Spirituality through the direction of the Holy Spirit because we recognize the reality that, as our church grows larger, we need to grow smaller.
We are truly a community of believers dedicated to seeking opportunities to cast His light through the small church settings comprising the rich Christ-like dynamics of our weekly Small Group or Home Church forums. We are about connecting one with another through Him.
Presently, we have several active, weekly-meeting Small Groups:

All of our small groups follow a common curriculum, are led by capable men, meet weekly and are great tools to provide in-depth teaching and fellowship. We are all about the connections of relationships beginning with one’s personal relationship with Christ and branching out from there into Christian relationships one with another.
In addition to the various forums in homes across the area, we have a group at the church building that meets every Sunday evening from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. Of course, our students have an evening 6:00 service at our Christian Student Center near the Towers dorms Sunday evening.
Each quarter, upon designated Sundays, we come together at the building as a full congregational community to celebrate our faith together as a full family.
In addition to this Web Site, we invite you to visit our small group blog and BibleGateway.com.
We pray that you, too, will become connected with our Small Group Ministry. These are life changing forums as He touches, guides, leads, and loves each of us onto and along our journey together toward a more Christ-like level of discipleship.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact: Ron Williams at: ron.williams@morgantowncoc.org or call 304-288-5734 or contact any of the Small Group Leaders listed above.
God’s Blessings.
“…But the greatest of these is love.’
1 Corinthians 13:13
