From Small Groups to Student Missionaries PRESCOTT KHAIR It’s small group season at Pioneer! Discipleship comes in many forms across our campus and our church. One of the most common is the small group. It’s seen in Sabbath Schools, in Grow Groups and the natural connections people form
around friendships and common interests. I think about how Jesus utilized the table and fellowship to craft intimate moments of discipleship with those he was closest to. Think about his feet being anointed and the aroma wafting through the house during what could be considered a small group meeting. Read more

feels as though it binds me even closer to my spouse and children. Birthdays are just one type of celebration that bonds me closer to the ones I love. Read More
