Man I am excited about the relaunching of Journey Groups at Oak Leaf!  We have a great year ahead of us and I know that we will be doing our part in, “Taking people from where they are to where God wants them to be.”  The way in which Journey Groups will do this is by championing three things in their group life; Reach, Connect, Grow.

I just wanted to give you a little heads up on what will be the most important aspect of our group life from here on out:

REACH

Have you ever felt like you did not fit in?  Maybe you had a hard time yourself making friends?  Maybe, this was your experience at Oak Leaf?  We never want this to happen to any of our guests that attend Oak Leaf!  We want to be a place where it is hard not to be included in this revolutionary movement of God that is happening here in Cartersville.

So here is what we will do as group people:

*  We will invite our friends that do not go to church anywhere to our groups and Sunday Morning Experiences.

*  We will invite our neighbors and co-workers.

*  We will look for those new faces at Oak Leaf that we do not know and invite them to our house for group.

*  When we are in our groups we will look for opportunities to bless those around us that need help, reaching out to those in the community.

*  We will learn to share our story of how Jesus has changed our life.

We will be the church that REACHES out to those around them and we will be the church that exists for the world!
