"Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another..." House groups offer an environment for Christian community that complements what happens at Messiah on Sunday mornings. In the context of a small group of up to a dozen people, they provide a place for mutual support and encouragement through listening and participation, and together seeking God's presence and guidance, healing and empowerment.
