Small Groups
Beyond Sundays, the most important way to get involved in the life of our congregation is to join a small group, where we cultivate our communion with God and friendships with others. Review the different formats of groups below and reach out to the contact individual to get connected.

BOOK STUDY GROUP
The Christian Life: A Doctrinal Introduction by Sinclair B. Ferguson Book Study
When: Weekly on Sundays from 9:00 - 9:50AM, Starts on Sunday, October 11th
Description: This will be an 18-week study in which we will cover one book chapter each week. The book is a classic Reformed introduction to soteriology, the doctrine of salvation, written for everyday believers. Christian doctrine matters for Christian living. "Christian doctrines are life shaping”, because “they show us the God we worship”. The book tries to bridge the gap between theology and daily life, showing how what we think about God determines how we live. Location: Temple Bat Yahm (Room 10) Please purchase the book before the first meeting, and please read each chapter prior to our gatherings together. Contact/Leader: Elias Giraldo
