SMALL GROUP MINISTRIES

Mission Statement: Know Jesus / Know Each Other

Live in a way that is worthy of the people God has chosen to be his own. Always be humble and gentle. Patiently put up with each other and love each other. Try your best to let Cod's Spirit keep o ur hearts united. Do this by living at peace. All of you are part of the same body. There is only

one Spirit of God, just as you were given one hope when you were chosen to be God's people. We have only one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. There is one God who is the Father of all people. at only is God above all others, but he works by using all of us, and he lives in all of us.
