Resources for Small Group Leaders
NEC’s small groups ministry exists to create gospel-centered communities where people are known, loved, and encouraged to grow as disciples of Jesus. Together we gather to share life, study God’s Word, pray, and support one another—so that we might live out the love of Christ in our everyday lives.
““Small groups are not a program of the church; they are the church.” ”
