Growing Together: The Purpose and Goals of Small Groups

At Oxford Baptist Church, a relationship with Jesus Christ is a lifelong journey full of intentional next steps. Small Group Ministry is one of the primary ways we walk out that journey together, living out our core mission to glorify God by making disciples who love one another and share Jesus with our community.

While our Sunday gatherings bring us together as a whole church family, small groups offer the close-knit setting where deep spiritual growth and authentic community happen.

The Main Goals of Our Small Groups

Engaging in God's Word: Small groups provide an approachable space to open Scripture together, dig deeper into truth, and discover how God's Word guides daily life.

Reinforcing Sunday Sermon Truths: Group discussions allow us to review, discuss, and practicalize the biblical truths preached on Sunday morning, taking sermon points from the pulpit into our weekly routines.

Building Authentic Relationships: Faith was never meant to be lived in isolation. Small groups help us form genuine friendships, build trust, and share life honestly with fellow believers.

Caring and Loving One Another: In obedience to Scripture's commands to care for one another, small groups serve as our primary network for mutual support, prayer, encouragement, and practical love during all seasons of life.

Small groups are where you can grow in relationship with God and fellow believers.

Whether you are new to faith or have been following Christ for years, finding a small group is a meaningful next step in your spiritual walk. Click below to get connected to a small group.
