Register here if you are interested in leading or joining a Home Fellowship Group at The Branch. Once we have a few people interested, we will be in contact to work out the details of group dynamics and provide foundation and leadership training to those interested in hosting.
What’s a Home Fellowship Group?
Home Fellowships are part of the Branch Growth Groups which serve the purpose of gathering like minded people together to explore discipleship, fellowship, and evangelism.
What would a Home Fellowship group look like?
Your Life is Your Group
At The Branch, we use a natural approach to Growth Groups. This means we want people to gather together based on the things they enjoy and are important to them. Essentially, the things you are already doing in your life are the things that can make up your Growth Group!
Growth Group leaders form their group around their gifts or interests. From sports groups to lunch groups, mom groups to student groups, Bible study groups to creative arts groups; groups can be as varied as we are.
Group Structure
Groups meet throughout the year on a time schedule that works for the members of the group. Home Fellowship groups meet at someones home.
Meeting Structure
No matter what your group meets about, each meeting should be made up of four things:
1. A time of Casual Fellowship
A laid-back time for group members to talk and get to know each other.
2. Activity or Discussion
This will vary based on what kind of group you’re leading. It could be an activity like Frisbee or outreach or a discussion about a book or the Sunday message.
3. Prayer
Ask for prayer requests from group members and pray at the beginning and/or the end of each group meeting.
4. Spiritual Component
Whether it’s through activities or discussion, always find a way to include the Word of God. This can be as simple as leading a short devotional, sharing something God is teaching you with the group or talking about a verse you read that week.
