Small Group Ministries at Iona-Hope
Discover and share your spiritual gifts

 Small Groups are just that- groups of a few to as many as 15 parishioners gathered together for a particular purpose.  The leadership consists of a Lay Pastor, Lay Pastor Apprentice and a Host.  This concept of small groups has replaced the usual committees, commissions and other similar groups found in many congregations.  Leadership and participaton in a small group changes every two years.  We encourage you to try new areas of ministry to continue your spiritual growth. 
      Iona-Hope has three types of Small Groups: 1) Cell Groups; 2) Ministry Teams; and, 3) Special Classes.  All three of these share similar covenants and follow the same ground rules.  They also grow within the common vision of this congregation and understand and support the core values of this congregation.

     Small Group Ministries are a means for everyone to get thoroughly involved in the ministry of this congregation.  They allow this congregation to grow as large as anyone can even dream and yet, at the same time, remain small and intimate.

You are welcome, in fact, greatly encouraged

to join one of these groups.
