MINI-CHURCHES AT FBCWR

What is a mini-church?

• Mini-churches are small groups of 8-16 people. The groups meet every other week at a member’s home. We have set up the groups for a commitment on a semester basis. The first semester runs from January to May and the second from September to December.

Where does the idea of mini-churches originate?

• Mini-churches are patterned after the practice of the first church; "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer" (Acts 2:42). God also tells us in Romans 12:10 to "be devoted to one another in brotherly love". We show our devotion to God and other believers by investing extra time in those relationships. So devote yourself to a Mini-church.

I have children, is there a plan for kids?

• Each Mini-church arranges child care and includes the children in activities as much as possible.
