What are Fellowship Groups?
At Four Oaks, we are committed to a New Testament pattern of fellowship that exists beyond our Sunday morning gathering. For this reason, we gather weekly or bi-weekly in homes throughout the city in what we call Fellowship Groups. These groups are led by trained lay-leaders in the church who are given ongoing support and oversight by an elder and pastor.
What do they do?
Fellowship Groups are basic Christian communities of 10-14 people who meet regularly for mutual care, application of God's word, discipleship, evangelism and community. They often eat together, discuss the sermon from the previous Sunday, care for one another, pray together, and fulfill the "one-another' commands of the New Testament. Fellowship Groups are the primary context in which the people of Four Oaks experience the grace of God in community. We ask all covenant members to belong to a Fellowship Group, and we encourage anyone who is looking to get plugged in at Four Oaks to seek out a Fellowship Group as well.
How can I get involved?
Join a group by finding one near you on the City, then requesting to join. You can also see a list of groups here. To join the City, stop by the welcome center at one of our Sunday gatherings.
