Brookfield Christian Reformed Church

Small Groups
At BCRC, we believe the most effective way to create Christian community is through small groups: people who have come together to accomplish a task, learn and grow, or resolve a personal need.

Small groups may take on many roles within the church, from divorce care to picking up hammers and saws to assist a needy person with home repairs

Each small group functions to help its members in becoming fully-devoted disciples of Christ. For one, belonging to a small group is an opportunity to give; for another, an opportunity to receive; for both it is a ministry of reciprocity, with each being blessed.
