Bethlehem Shepherd Groups: Why, Who How
First initiative- The Value of Relationships:
We will take new practical steps to develop an atmosphere where personal, deepening, supportive, faith-building relationships of love are highly valued as expressions of our passion for the supremacy of God’s love.
What is a Shepherd Group?
Gatherings of 6-12 people, led by trained lay-leaders, that meet in one another’s homes to know and experience God, offer accountability and instruction, and export faith into the world.
