Jar Groups

Where a church OF small groups gathers to find resources and encouragement

Do you have questions about Jar Groups? Is God calling you to start one?

Do you need resources for yours? You've come to the right place!

Thank you for checking into our ministry!

At The Jar, we are building a church OF small groups that allow three kinds of ministry to take place where you are, when you are ready.

An ALTERNATIVE EXPRESSION of faith for those who struggle with the traditional church setting.

You've got your reasons. Maybe you've been hurt, angered, or ignored in the past; maybe there isn't a local gathering that suits you; maybe you are just ready to try something new. Whatever your reason, Jar Groups provide a new way of sharing your faith with others, both Already Believers and Not Yet Believers. We can show you a simple way to gather together with others, learn how to live out your faith, and escape the trappings of the traditional setting.

People need a community to best learn how to follow Jesus. Why not start with a smaller version with a fresh approach?

A BRIDGE BACK to the local church for people in your circle of influence who aren't ready to step foot in a church building.

They've got their reasons. You've invited them to join you, told them how great your church is; but they just can't bring themselves to join you. Whatever their reason, Jar Groups provides a new way of sharing your faith with others, both Already Believers and Not Yet Believers. We can teach you how to gather a group together and bring the experience to them in your home, business, or community space.

Sometimes people need to experience community on a smaller scale before they are ready to tackle a larger crowd.

An ADDITION to your learning as a disciple-maker while continuing to attend your church and support your pastor.

Your pastor is making every effort to help you learn how to be a disciple who makes disciples, but sometimes it takes a second voice saying similar things to help them sink in. Jar Groups provides a way to supplement your learning and support your pastor as you make a difference for the Kingdom of God in your community. The material we provide works well as a small group curriculum geared to train disciple-makers.

Followers of Jesus need an intentional process to discover their important role in the mission of Christ.

What can you do?

No matter which situation you are in, God can help. Our hope is that we can be an alternative, a bridge, or a complement to your faith journey. Jar Groups are simple enough:

Get ready:

Decide who will be the Host and who will be the Encourager.

Pick a day, time, and location.

INVITE:

Talk to people you know are also needing a new experience in the faith.

Ask them to join you for a time of food, fun, and great conversation.

GATHER:

...to eat together (snacks or a meal?).

...to pray together.

...to pool together resources to bless the people in your community.

...to watch an episode of The Jar TV or Filled To Empty.

...to talk about what it means and choose one way to put it into practice.

Encourage everyone to try to apply the teaching in the next week.

Prompt them to share their efforts, whether challenging or successful.

Urge them to invite others to the next meeting.
