There are many great reasons for attending a homegroup. These include:

• To grow our relationship with God
• To praise and worship God
• To study the Bible
• To prayerfully support others
• To develop friendships
• To equip and train for ministry
• To provide pastoral care.

At IBC, where most of us are living away from our home countries, a homegroup also provides valuable community. An IBC homegroup is therefore more than a group that meets weekly/biweekly. It can eventually become a community of friends; a community of prayer partners; a community where we can share our news, needs and joys; a community of practical supporters.

In Acts 2:46 we read that the early Christians “continued to meet together every day”. Don’t worry, we are not proposing that a homegroup meets together every day! However, we can meet together in a lot of ways without meeting physically:

• Praying for each other daily
• Keeping in contact with each other: e.g. phone, emails, texts …
• Remembering each other’s birthdays, holidays …
• Sharing with one other on other occasions – coffee mornings, walks, drinks, meals …
• Helping out practically

Many homegroup members testify to the warmth of friendship developed through their homegroup; the opportunity to grow as a Christian; and the prayer and practical support that they can experience.
