The Delicate Human Heart
This isn't your typical small group environment. This is an environment for the precious ones who know they are broken, know they are delicate and understand that others are too. We have found that the ones who join our community understand that judgement, defensiveness and lack of trust are some of the main causes of human pain. We have put these small groups together to encourage a SAFE environment for those who need others to love them, on their best day...and on their worst. We all need love and all of our sin is a result of either reaction to trauma or a false identity, both works of the enemy. We are here to love each other no matter our past or current level of sanctification. We are here to come beside one another and war with one another in the heavenly realm. We are here to hold each others hands as we rise...or fall. We are here to find and give a place of safety and security.

If you are to join a small group, please know that we encourage everyone in the group to openly discuss issues plaguing the group or individual issues regarding other group members. The only way the enemy's tactics can be destroyed is for them to be exposed, accepted for what they are - spiritual warfare, and warred against with group prayer until the issue is resolved in the heavenly realm. Here is a brief list of things to keep an eye out for.
