Life Groups

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.Acts 2:42

We believe that participating in a small group is an essential part of the road to spiritual maturity. No matter how big the crowd gets each Sunday morning, those who call Oak Ridge their home tend to be involved in a small group. This is where you learn to pray for one another, dig deeper into the Word, and reach out to the lost.

In the book of Acts, the early church emphasised a blend of large church-wide public meetings and small home-based private meetings. It is our experience that participating in one at the expense of the other can lead to spiritual malnutrition.

If you’d like to get involved in a small group, please contact the following leaders:
