Small Groups<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n
<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n

Worship is where we gather as a church family. Small groups are where relationships grow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n

At Emilie United Methodist Church, our small groups provide opportunities to study God's Word, deepen your faith, pray together, share life's joys and challenges, and build meaningful friendships. Whether you're looking for Bible study, discipleship, creativity, fellowship, or prayer, there's a place for you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n

As the early church gathered in homes to learn, worship, and encourage one another, we continue that tradition today through a variety of small groups that meet throughout the week. We invite you to find a group where you can grow in your relationship with Christ and with others.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n
