Why We Do IT

Churches do a lot of the same things but different ways. It is important to know why we do it the way we do it. An important part of LT is our small groups called CPR (Care Prayer and Relationships). These groups are intentionally highly relational. We don't want people to try to do life alone. We've been doing small groups for ten years now and have tried many things and have been tweaking the current model the last few years. Instead of doing many different studies during the week, we are doing the Sermon-based study together during the week in various homes. Here's why we do the Sermon-based small group studies: 1. In sync with whole church. Harmony. Unity. 2. Not too advanced for new growing believers. 3. Not hunting a new study each term. 4. No strange teachings. Keeps the wolves out. 5. Design questions for life application. 6. Free. 7. More Scripture. 8. Bring in more leaders. Easy to use. * The only con we ever hear is from people (very few)say they want something deeper. Pastorally speaking, that excuse is a pile of manure. You can study as deep as you want. If it's not deep enough perhaps you should be leading a group, because you always go deeper when learning (preparing) to teach or facilitate. * We have, however, finally caught up, and will be offering (deeper) Grow classes this next year that will not take away from the vital connection needed in CPR groups. Stay tuned for more as these classes will be covering: theology,evangelism, parenting, finances, marriage, etc. Some of these will be six to ten to even thirteen week courses; while we will offer some one night and weekend seminars. It is going to be an exciting year, and we want to give you every reason and opportunity to connect, grow, serve, multiply. ---No excuses. No explanations.
