As our church grows, we know it is easy for people to feel lost in the crowd. You are important to us and that is why we are committed to the idea of Small groups. We say we grow larger and smaller at the same time here at Real Hope.
 
Real Hope Community Church has small group Bible Studies and Home Fellowship Groups as the primary means for developing both spiritual maturity and mobilizing people for outreach into the community. Meeting either weekly or bi-weekly groups maintain a healthy balance between in-reach and out-reach. Groups provide a variety of functions including: Bible Study, worship, fellowship, and service. All of them vital places of giving and growing.
 
It is our firm belief that God intended us to become part of a church family, and minister and support one another.  This simply cannot all be done on just one day a week.  Fellowship is an essential part of a well-balanced spiritual diet.  Are you a part of a community of believers where you are prayed for and cared for?  Please consider visiting and joining a Small Group.
