A GoGroup is a small group of people doing life together while working to make a difference for Christ in our community (locally or globally). These small groups are an integral way of connecting here at Preston Trail. They combine your passion for God with the power of Christian community to tangibly demonstrate His love for others. Think of it as a diet of great friendships and God’s Word - plus exercise! We believe God will use us, as we are willing, to powerfully impact the world.
On January 31st from 4-6PM, we will have our first GoGroup Link.
Put simply, GoGroup Link is an event held at the church to kick off a 6-week test drive. During these weeks, you’ll be with a group of like-minded people trying out what it feels like to be in a group focused on serving others. We’ve got some amazing curriculum to experience together called “Just Start / Becoming a Good Samaritan.” On January 31st we will do session on of that study together here at PTCC; the remaining 5 weeks will be done in homes, hosted by your table leaders.
By the end of the six weeks, you’ll be able to decide next steps:
1) Sign and Drive! Your GoGroup Link group may be firing on all cylinders and ready to form an ongoing GoGroup. If so, we’ll talk more then about the basics that are needed to keep the group going strong: it needs to be mechanically sound (leadership/functional structure) and have the right engine and navigation (commitment of the group and the horsepower of the Holy Spirit).
2) Test Drive Another Group: You like the GoGroup idea, but perhaps this model didn’t click for you and you would like to test drive another one. You can work with Lin Woodson, our GoGroups Coordinator, to explore your preferences and connect you with another group to try.
3) Hold Out for Next Year’s Model: You may decide this isn’t the time to “buy in” to a GoGroup – and that’s fine! We hope this 6-week study will leave you craving that “new car smell” in the meantime, and demonstrating Christ’s love to others wherever you may go.
If you're ready to take the test drive with us, please stop by the GoGroups kiosk in the lobby to register, or sign up online here.
