Home Groups

Over 50 times in the New Testament, the words 'one another' are used in reference to Christians and the way we are to interact. We are to love one another, encourage one another, serve one another, rebuke one another, restore one another, prefer one another, be devoted to one another, etc. This is the primary purposes of our Home Groups at PBC.

The early followers of Jesus understood the need to gather as a church in small groups for support, encouragement, and training for ministry. These groups, meeting in homes, offered a place to form genuine relationships, they provided easy entry places for new believers, and also a non-threatening environment for those who were seeking to know more about Jesus and his Church.

At Pitlochry Baptist, we try to model our Home Groups after the example shown in Acts 2:42-47.

Currently there are 4 Home Groups at Pitlochry Baptist, meeting in a variety of places during the week. Most groups have about 6-10 people, but there is always room for more, no matter what background you are from or what point of your journey you are at.

The Purpose of Home Groups

1. To Grow in Our Relationship With Others: It is often very difficult in our society to develop trust with other people. Vulnerability is often met with hurt and betrayal. Home Groups offer a safe opportunity to form loving, strong, lasting friendships. These groups help us open our hearts to one another, begin to share honestly with one another, love one another, encourage one another, and learn to trust once more.

2. To Grow in Relationship With God: Home Groups provide an effective place to learn about Who God is and how to grow in our relationship with Him. Seeking Jesus in a Home Group also gives us the opportunity to learn from oth ers and how they have learned to relate to Him.
