Small groups at MWPC are at the heart of our vision for developing mature disciples.
When the Holy Spirit came upon people, a transformation occurred. It not only changed their understanding of Jesus but inspired them to relate to each other with love and care. Instead of a disparate ragtag group of disciples, the followers of Jesus became unified in heart and mission.
In addition to corporate worship, we need other avenues to encourage each other to cultivate our spiritual lives. Gathering in small groups is a great way to promote deeper relationships, grow in our Christian faith, and promote God's mission in the world.
With many small groups to choose from, you’re sure to find folks who share your age interest, life-phase, and more!

“Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
