Ever felt out of touch with God?  How about with those around you?  It’s easy in our fast-paced society to lose connection with the most vital relationships we have.  In this high-tech world increasingly there is a cry for “high-touch.”  That is, we have a deep need to be loved, to be listened to, to be understood.  God has provided for this need to be ultimately met in a relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ, and with His people, the church.

That’s why at Bailey we take seriously God’s call to meet together regularly and to care for one another (Hebrew 10:25 & Galatians 6:2).  As the Family of God, we believe this kind of care happens best in smaller group settings through Bible study, prayer, and fellowship.  We are committed to making our Care Group Ministry a central part of our overall outreach because we realize that we all need to be kept accountable to the things that are really important.

Care Groups meet weekly (September-May) in the homes of our church family, as well as the church building, and are led by caring individuals who want to help you grow in your walk with Christ.  There are a variety of times to choose from to allow for flexibility.  If you are not involved in a Care Group and would like to be, please call the church office (834-5919) and we can help you find just what you’re looking for!
