Small Groups at Immanuel are made up of 8-14 people, who study scripture together, meet either on-site or in people's homes, and work to develop community. Groups are made up of men and women that have a desire to help each other grow more Christlike as they encounter what God's word has to say.
Micro Groups at Immanuel are made up of 3-5 men or 3-5 women. Micro Groups are focused on diving deep, caring for, and encouraging one another to live Christ-like wherever God has placed them. Studying scripture and applying its implications is the main goal. As the community deepens and develops, we believe the ability to speak into one another's lives increases exponentially.
