Small Groups - Our Savior's Way Lutheran Church

The purpose of Doing Life Together small groups is to glorify God and make disciples by living together in community, growing in God’s Word and being engaged in service to others. The Vision of Our Savior’s Way begins with “Building Relationships.” Relationships are an essential part of God’s plan for our lives. Jesus made us a promise: “For where two or three come together in my name there am I with them” (Matthew 18:20). In community, God’s love becomes real and our faith in God grows. Doing Life Together small groups or DLT groups are safe places where you can make friendships, share your faith with others, grow in God’s Word, find support and be supportive, and be challenged to do good for others and to draw closer to God in prayer. Love grows in community and our lives become healthier and more productive. At Our Savior’s Way we offer a variety of small groups to meet different needs.
