The need for friendship and authentic community in our lives cannot be overstated. It is the reason NorthPointe puts great emphasis on participation in a small group. In a small group, participants do life together – growing spiritually through the study of the Bible, praying for one another, encouraging each other, and being a network of support for each other. The Bible says, If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! (Ecclesiastes 4:10 NIV).

NorthPointe offers a number of small group opportunities. There are groups for men, women, couples, teens, support groups such as M.O.P.S. (Mothers of Preschoolers), and special interest groups such as scrapbooking. These are offered at various times throughout the week meeting both in homes and at the church.
