Small Groups: The Biblical Foundation - Part 1 (Acts 2:42-47)

It's exciting to be a part of a growing church, but we can also face growing pains: becoming focused on buildings and activities over relationships. People can visit for weeks and not make a connection. That’s a problem in light of the fact that we have God-given needs for love, acceptance and significance (with God and with one another).

Interesting Church Study:

1. 85% of those who joined the average church will not be there a year later.
2. 90% of new members would stay in church if they:
   1. Made 4-8 close friendships within the church
   2. They belong to a fellowship group
   3. They can articulate their faith

If we want a New Testament church experience, there isn’t a better place to begin than Acts 2:42-47, which provides insight into the life of the early church!

In Hawaii, the term 'ohana means family. The term Ohana Fellowship is another way for describing the Small Group experience.
