Small Groups
Minco FBC is committed to making disciples for the glory of God. Every Christian needs to be connected to a caring community where you can deepen your faith and experience God’s love. Our communities are enriching and welcoming places where you can grow in your relationship with Jesus, engage in Christ-centered fellowship, and impact others through service and outreach.
Here at Minco, we offer different discipleship classes and ministries. If this is your first time to visit a group, you may have some questions.

What is a Home Group?
Home groups usually consist of 8-15 adults who meet on a regular basis in someone’s home to study and discuss the Bible, pray for one another, care for one another, serve the local community, and share the Gospel with non-believers. Groups meet in neighborhoods throughout our area on various nights of the week (usually Sunday). Home groups which do meet on Sunday evening have childcare provided at the church.
We have different groups that are made up of men and women from all generations of life, who strive to consider each other’s needs over themselves and spur each other toward Godliness. Each group is filled with disciples who find their identity in Christ, who worship Jesus together, and who care for and counsel one another. Together, they live on mission to see more people know and glorify God through Jesus Christ.
Why do we do Home Groups?
We love our home groups because they are a place for us to study God’s word together, love one another, serve our community, and participate in the mission of God.
What's the goal of a Home Group?
Our goal at Minco FBC is to be a body of believers engaged in glorifying God by making disciples through the gospel, in community and on mission. Being involved in a home group is one of the main ways we see this happen at our church. We believe that active involvement in community is important for your spiritual health as a part of this local church.
