Welcome to our Blog: Small Groups

Welcome to our first posting of the ROC 322 blog! Every Thursday you will hear from someone new in the group about thoughts God has put on their heart. We are excited about the amazing things God is doing to us as youth, as well as what He has planned for Chicago. Our ministry is unique...:) If you've seen our Youtube channel, or promo videos....you can tell we have a sense of humor (i hope!).

We take this approach to relate more with the youth, so that we can come together as a community. Instead of holding the traditional worship meetings and overlapping efforts of many effective ministries out there, we feel that building relationships through unique events and small groups are an alternative way to fellowship and grow in the Lord. Acts 2:42-47 talks about the 1st century church and how the believers "continued steadfastly in the apostle's teaching and fellowship in the breaking of bread and the prayers." (v. 42).

I am proud to say this small group feel is the basis of our ministry. Take some time to read our history of how we started on our website at roc322.org, and you can see that our Thursday Night Prayer group (TNP) is how we formed this bond and started to reach out to the community. Since 2005, our core group has been getting together for prayer and it has only strengthened us as friends and believers. Anyone can have an "experience" at a church/meeting/concert... but where do you go from there? How do you stay consistent in growing with the Word and living a good Christian life EVERYDAY, and not just on Sunday?

By getting into a small group! So get plugged in somewhere.... through our groups, your local church, or ask your friends. Together we can become a "community for Christ".
