ChristCare Groups

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

- Leo F. Buscaglia

Circles of Care with Christ at the Center

ChristCare logoChrist is central to ChristCare Groups.  ChristCare members meet Jesus himself in their fellow group members, in the Scriptures, in prayer and worship, and through their missional service.  With Jesus at the center of all that the group is and does, group members grow as Jesus' disciples, increasing in faith, joy, and love.
 
ChristCare Groups are circles of care.  ChristCare Group members care for one another with the love of Christ.  As a ChristCare Group member, you never have to go through a tough time alone, be it a major crisis or just the bumps and bruises of daily life.  Your fellow group members are always there for you.
 
When ChristCare Groups meet, they do four kinds of activities:

Community building and care
Biblical Equipping
Prayer and worship
Missional service

The Holy Spirit works through these activities to make ChristCare Groups into "Circles of Care with Christ at the Center."

Join Us

Groups are led by trained church members.  You do not have to be a member of this church to join a small group. All groups are open at this time for new members and they would welcome you with open arms.  There is a home for you in a small group!Prayer and reflection at Franklin First UMC

The Groups

Customary meeting times for the Christ Care groups are listed.  Especially during the summer months, meeting times may vary.  Contact the group leader to confirm meeting times.  Since these decisions may be made by the group on a week to week basis, the updates are not always reflected on the calendar.
