Small Groups/Adult Ministry at Stockton Covenant Church.
Throughout the history of Christianity (starting in Acts 2), believers
have been called into smaller communities in order to grow and to reach
their world with the gospel. All of us need a smaller grouping...a
class, a small group Bible study, a ministry team, in order to thrive
in our faith and have the most impact on the world. We have just the
place for you, whether it be an evening Bible study or a Sunday morning
class.
