SMALL GROUP MINISTRY

At Maranatha, we have many small groups that meet in different locations around our area.  The following is a list of those groups. If you are interested in joining one of these groups, or if you would like to start one of your own, please contact the church at mbc@maranathabiblechapel.org or call 739-7168.

Custer Small Group

This small group rotates around various homes, Thursday evenings year-round from 6:30 to 8:30 (later for those wanting longer fellowship), currently beginning a James Dobson series on 30 critical issues facing today's families.  Format includes opening prayer, choruses, program, prayer, dessert snack (rotating) and fellowship. Their mission is to provide biblically relevant teaching for today's high interest issues, for everyone regardless of level of spiritual maturity or denomination, glorify and worship Jesus Christ, lift each other in prayer, and provide a safe, comfortable, welcoming place where confidentiality and intimacy will flourish.

   

Ladies Bible Studies

Prayer & Listening

It will be offered on Tuesdays starting on April 29th at two different times and will run for 6 weeks (last session will be Tuesday, June 3rd ).  The morning session will be from 9:00am - 10:45am and for the evening session will be from 6:30pm - 8:15pm Tuesday evenings.

   

Tolpa Small Group

This small group meets on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month from 5:00pm-7:00pm (however, dates are subject to change).  We begin our meeting time with pizza or a light dinner.  We then have an icebreaker, study time, and prayer time. We're currently doing a series on the book of Joshua. We have primarily young families that attend the group.  The children come and childcare is provided for them.  Presently, we have six families attending the group.  Right now, due to space limitations, this group does not have availability for other families to join.

   

Beltzer's Small Group

This Small Group studies the book "Facing the Giants in Your Life" by Dr. David Jeremiah. We just finished the first of twelve chapters. This is a great time to join right now. We are open to new suggestions.  Everybody is welcome!  This group meets on Thursday nights at 7:00 PM.

   

Moms in Touch Small Group

Our Moms in Touch prayer group meets every Monday morning to pray for our children and their school (Gardner Road Elementary).  Any mom from any school district can attend this group. Moms in touch is a national organization, and when two or moms from the same school district have joined, they are encourage to start their own group. You can get more information at their web site. We use a prayer format that includes praising God for one of His attributes, silent confession, thanksgiving for what God has done, and intercession for our children, the teachers and staff at their school, their school in general, and Moms in Touch.  Our prayer format sheet keeps us focused so that we can accomplish all of our praying in about an hour, and not get sidetracked with chit-chat.  We make time afterwards for those who want to stay and chat.  Through our prayer group, each of us has grown in our own prayer life, and we are able to impact the lives of many people, including our children and all those who work at and attend their school.  To God be the glory!

 

   

Burgess Small Group

Small group for seniors 55 and older. We meet the 1st and 3rd Sundays at 6:00PM.  We are presently studying Ephesians. Join this group for a time of studying, spiritual encouragement, a time of sharing and prayer. All are welcome.

   

Young Adults Small Group

This group meets every other Sunday night, and the target group is primarily singles in the "twenty and thirty something" age range.  Pastor Tom and Arliss lead this group which has a strong emphasis on outreach, fellowship, and fun.

   

Gleason Small Group

This small group meets every Thursday night at 6:45 PM.  We are now doing a study of "The Pursuit of Holiness" by Jerry Bridges.  We currently have 5 couples ranging from 30's to 60's.  We consider ourselves a family who is there for each other as we grow in our walk with the Lord.

   

Smallcomb Small Group

This small group will be meeting twice a month on Wednesday  nights. Meeting time and study materials are still  to be determined.
