about us
Small Group Partners is a partnership of 5 churches, focused on promoting small groups as a tool for discipleship by Churches, based on our combined collective experience of over 75 years. The Churches are Swallowfield Chapel, Transformed Life Church, Webster Memorial United Church, New Testament Church of God, and Christian Life Fellowship.
​
Focus
We believe that our mandate as the Church benefits from the use of the non-threatening environment that small groups offer. There is also strong local and international research that consistently point to small groups as an effective vehicle for reaching men. We believe there are real possibilities for ongoing cultural transformation through cascaded and close-to-community impact of the Church. We see opportunity for a shift towards sharing successes and deeper collaboration amongst our churches.

our beliefs
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the Word of God written and complete, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and it is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
God
We believe in one eternal, infinite, and sovereign God, manifested to man as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in his incarnation through the virgin birth as fully man, while being fully God. We believe in the fact of Jesus’ sinless life, in His atonement for man through His shed blood and death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal visible return in power and glory.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit to convict men of sin, and of regenerating, sanctifying, illuminating, comforting, empowering, and preserving all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a separate experience from conversion in which the believer is empowered to be an effective witness and to live victoriously.
Satan
We believe Satan is a spiritual being, the originator of sin and the enemy of God and man, whose destiny is eternal punishment.
Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God to have fellowship with God but fell into sin and that man can only be restored to his God-intended relationship through true repentance and personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Local Church
We believe that the local church is a gathered assembly of people who have been born again, called out from the world, separated unto the Lord Jesus Christ, voluntarily associated for the ministry of the Word, the mutual edification of its members, the propagation of the faith, and the observance of the ordinances.
