Why Home Bible Study Teams?

- It's Biblical
Throughout the gospels we see that Jesus did much of his ministry in homes.

In the book of Acts, Luke records the tremendous growth of the early church in Jerusalem. Small group meetings in homes were the foundation of the early church. Acts 5:42 tells us that the people met "in the temple courts" (large group worship) and "from house to house" (small group fellowship).

- Relationships
HomeTeams are a great place to build authentic life-long friendships. Meeting together regularly for food, fellowship, and fun is key to getting to know people and HomeTeams are a safe, friendly environment for this to happen.

It is fair to say that HomeTeams are where the heart is at First Baptist. They are the place for heart-to-heart ministry in a church with so many ministries and such a large membership.

- Spiritual Growth
You can ask questions, participate in discussions, and hear others share their insights and illustrations of biblical truths they are trying to grasp.

As you apply the biblical truths discussed in HomeTeams your faith and your relationship with God will be strengthened.

- Support and Encouragement
Over 50 times in the New Testament the phrase "one another" is used to describe our relationships to other believers.

We are instructed to love one another, pray for one another, encourage one another, bear one another's burdens, and build one another up.
