Description

We explore why small groups turn church from a crowd into a family, tracing a biblical pattern from Acts 2 and Ecclesiastes 4 to real stories from our Iron Men group. This week, we share how we measure health by circles, not rows, and outline simple ways to plug into a class.

• fellowship as a central discipline alongside teaching and prayer
• Acts 2 model shaping service, meals and shared needs
• Ecclesiastes 4 and the danger of isolation
• Iron Men example prioritising service over schedule
• measuring church health by group connection
• leadership that hosts, teaches and protects culture
• practical on-ramps into Sunday classes and midweek groups
• growth that spreads from circles to Sundays
