Mature, Minister, and Make a Difference
At Kirk of the Hills, small groups are vital to our spiritual growth. We believe that everyone who attends the Kirk should participate in corporate worship on Sunday morning, Christian community and discipleship through a small group, and service to others. This how we Mature in our faith, Minister to others, and Make a Difference in our world for Jesus Christ.
The value of small groups is that they help us to move forward on our spiritual journey as we study God’s Word, pray, and serve together. Small groups are also a great place to make friends. They allow us to receive and give care to one another as we share life’s joys and challenges with one another. They also provide a safe environment for us as our group steps out to serve others.
There are two types of small groups: our Dive-In groups and our Life groups.
Our Dive-In groups will form on a semester basis in September, January, and June. They will have a beginning and an end date and will provide an opportunity for folks who are not involved in a Life group to explore what it means to be part of a small group. Topics and leaders will change every semester so that new groups can “dive-in” to Christian discipleship and community without making a life-long commitment. This is the first step and we encourage everyone to take part in a Dive-In group.
Our Life groups are made up of folks that have been together for more than one semester and have made a commitment to each other to “do life together”. This is our ultimate goal but we realize that not everyone is ready for this type of commitment when they first experience a small group.
Many of our groups meet in homes and groups meet almost every night of the week. For families with children, The Kirk provides children’s programming in conjunction with adult small groups that meet at the Kirk on Sunday evenings from 5:00-6:30 p.m. or Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:00 p.m.

Change conjures up a wide variety of responses for most of us but when you think about it, anything that is not changing is lifeless! Beginning July 4th, our pastors will be preaching through a 5-week sermon series, Dying for a Change. This series will examine why change is necessary in the church using Christ Jesus’ message to the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3 as a foundation.
To accompany this sermon series and to assist you in applying these principles to your life, we will be offering a 5-week small group experience in conjunction with this sermon series. Small group curriculum will include a teaching DVD by Senior Pastor Tom Gray. If you would like to participate in a summer small group beginning the week of July 4th and ending the week of August 1st, be sure to sign-up for a group today by calling Tammy at 494-7088 or email tgill@thekirk.com.
