Care groups are an important part of the life of Heritage Presbyterian Church. We believe that the kind of interdependence envisioned in Ephesians 4:11-14 requires that we spend meaningful time together. Care groups provide a good environment to get to know one another better on a personal level. But more than that, they are intended to promote true biblical fellowship. In this manner, we can know and enjoy one another, pray for one another, and encourage one another in the faith.
If you are a believer, you need the encouragement of your fellow believers, and they need your encouragement. Likewise, something is seriously missing when we are not praying for one another. There are a variety of ways at Heritage to be involved in this kind of meaningful fellowship. One of the best ways is to join a care group. If you are not yet part of a care group, we invite you to become a part of one. Most (though not all) of our care groups meet on Sunday evenings. Being able to join together with brothers and sisters through a care group is a wonderful way to conclude the Lord's Day.
Below are our current care groups, including information and a contact person.
