EDBC Home Groups
We place great value on home groups. They are one of the best ways of offering pastoral care within our church. To be part of a small group of people who can understand each other and support each other offers the opportunity to belong to something special.

Why attend a home group?
1. You will understand the Bible better in a small group.
In a small group setting, you can ask questions, participate in a discussion of the text, and hear others share insights and illustrations of the truth you are trying to grasp. The Bible must be applied to your own personal situations and that happens best in small groups.
2. You will begin to really feel like part of God´s family.
The greatest benefit is the close relationships and friendships that develop. Over fifty times in the New Testament the phrase "one another" is used to describe our relationship to other believers. We are instructed to love one another, encourage one another, pray for one another, accept one another, bear one another´s burdens, and build up one another. The best way to do this is in a small group! We really do need one another.
3. Prayer will become more meaningful to you.
There are many promises in the Bible related to group prayer. In praying together with a few others, we are drawn together and we find answers to the needs in our lives.
"They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Every day they continued to meet together... they broke bread in their homes and ate together... and the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Acts 2:42, 44, 46-47
