Frequently Asked Questions: 

What are HomeTeams? It’s not just a fun name for small groups – it’s a team of about 5-10 people who meet together in a host home to connect, study, grow and pray.

When do HomeTeams begin? The HomeTeams begin the week of October 1 and run approximately 6 to 12 weeks.

Who may attend a HomeTeam? HomeTeams are for anyone who wants to experience a dynamic, growing faith…and have fun and make friends at the same time!

What exactly takes place in a HomeTeam group? There are many parts to a healthy group. Typically a group begins with a “connecting” time. This provides a fun way to share and get to know one another. The Bible study portion helps you not just to talk about the truth you learn but also to experience it in a practical way. There is also a time of sharing and praying. If you are new to praying in a small group, you won’t be pressed to pray until you feel ready.

Is there a cost to be in a HomeTeam? Typically you purchase your own study materials.

What type of groups will be offered? The HomeTeams we are offering at this time are women’s, men’s, and couples. There is also a women’s group called MomTime that meets monthly. There is also a Spiritual Formation class and a HomeFront Pilates class.

How do I get in a HomeTeam? All you need to do is contact the Small Groups Director, Anna Matthews at anna@homefrontchurch.org or 616-745-2320 to sign up TODAY! Also, we will have a sign up display in the lobby of the church until the last Sunday in September.

Do I need to sign up if I was in a group last year? Yes. It helps the hosts to know who exactly will be participating.

What if the group I joined does not fit who I am? There is no obligation to stay in a group, but we suggest you give it a chance for a couple of weeks.

Who leads a HomeTeam? Each group has a leader, but we recommend that you rotate the job of facilitating your discussions so that everyone’s abilities and gifts can emerge and develop. Other responsibilities are shared as well, such as bringing refreshments or keeping up with those who miss a meeting. There’s no reason why one or two people need to do everything since you are all a “team”; in fact, sharing ownership of the group will help everyone grow and become a HomeTeam. Finally, the Bible says that when two or more are gathered together in Jesus’ name, he is there in your midst. Ultimately, God’s Spirit is your leader each step of the way.

What is the curriculum? For this session, curriculum has been selected by the participating HomeTeam Hosts.
