“Growing in God through community, prayer, accountability & encouragement of God’s Word.”

View the Spring 2012 Small Groups

WHY Small Group:
Seoul is the world’s eighth largest city (larger than Tokyo, London and New York) with a bustling population of 10,456,034 people. Yet, in the midst of the busyness of life in the city, and the hustle of the teeming crowds which are the norm for Seoulites, the experience of many is isolation and loneliness.

Despite being surrounded by millions of people, finding community and connecting with others in a meaningful way isn’t something which just happens. This is where small groups at OEM come into play.

WHEN are Small Groups:
In our OEM Small Groups Ministry, all small groups run in a semester system of three months as follows:

• SPRING SEMESTER
      Duration: Last week of February – Last week May
      Break and training: First week of June - third week of June
  
• SUMMER SEMESTER
     Last week of June – first week of August
     Break and training: Second week of August - last week of August
  
• FALL SEMESTER
      First week September – 3rd week of December
      Break and training: Last week of December - third week of January

WHAT size is a Small Group:
The purpose of a small group is just that - to be a small group of people connecting in God's name. At OEM we aim to limit group size to a maximum of 15 members.

PURPOSE of Small Group:
Here at Onnuri English Ministry, we have summarized the purposes of our Small Groups in the following way:  “Growing in God through community, prayer, accountability and encouragement of God’s Word.”

In other words, the purposes of small groups are bound up in experiencing authentic community and spiritual growth (through prayer and Bible study). This is one of the best means of experiencing the biblical ideal of community as seen in Acts 2: 42 - 46:
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts….”
