Small Groups
"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."
Matthew 18:20
A Small Group is an intentional gathering, meeting regularly for the purpose of joining God’s mission. These instructions from Jesus help us understand how a missional disciple of Christ will live. We are to: Love God, Love others, Go and make disciples.

The Bible can be daunting. It’s ancient, enormous, and sometimes challenging to understand. Long Story Short opens up the Christian Scriptures by sharing the biblical narrative in a way that requires no prior engagement with the Bible. It traces the big story of who God is and how he is saving the world through six simple movements: Creation; Fall, Israel; Jesus; Church; New Creation. With this framework in place, readers will not only understand how the little stories of the Bible fit together into a seamless whole, they will also be compelled to step into the drama to be part of its performance.
