As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
All of our Core Groups are designed to prioritize making connections and Biblical literacy under the primary goal of disciples making disciples. The Center for Bible Engagement revealed in 2023 that there is a significant surge in spiritual health of people who engage with the Bible 4 or more times per week. And those who engage with the Bible 3 or less times per week have similar scores as someone who is lost or does not engage with the Bible at all. That’s why these core groups are essential for encouraging their members to read the Bible daily. It is part of our church culture that every member participates in a core group most of the time that group meets.
