Small groups
At APC, we believe that God designed us for relationship. We flourish and grow when we are known in the context of committed and authentic community. As Christians, we particularly need fellow journeyers to walk with us as we seek to follow Jesus. This is why we encourage everyone to be a part of a small group.
Most – though not all – of our groups consist of about 7-11 people, meet three times a month on campus or in peoples’ homes, and use the sermon series as a guide for discussion and reflection. We have several groups that are geared toward a particular demographic, meet online, or follow different curriculum based on their interests.
This fall, we have groups for women and men, for young moms, for couples, for young adults, and for “People of a Certain Age (60+/-)”. We are offering “GriefShare” for those grieving the death of a loved one. We are also going to be running “Financial Peace University” for those seeking to get a better handle on their personal finances, get out of debt, and make a plan for the future.

GriefShare helps you move through the grief process after the death of a loved one by providing a safe, welcoming place with other people who get it. Through this 13-week group, you’ll talk about grief: what to expect and what’s “normal”. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability, and gain solid support each step of the way. You are welcome to join us, whether your loss is recent or years old.
When? Monday nights this fall, 6:30-8pm, 9/16 - 12/16
Where? Crossroads Youth Building (75 S. Main St.)
Questions? Contact Jan Cristman.

Coming Up:

Mental Health Matters will be teaching a two week class on the importance of family and community support, its role in mental health and wellness, and the Biblical basis for addressing Mental Health. We will be joined by Janet Haag, the executive director of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Mercer and Rev. Miriam Diephouse McMilan, chaplain at Trenton Psychiatric Hospital. Come and join us as we continue to learn how to foster mental health and wellness in our lives and our community.

“Acts of Inspiration”
The Acts of the Apostles is not a blueprint for a perfect church. Instead, Acts contains stories meant to provoke and inspire our imaginations about how God might be present among us in vibrant and unexpected ways. In the end, we encounter anew a God whose grace is always greater than we had previously imagined. Dr. Barreto is the Weyerhaeuser Associate Professor of New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary and an ordained Baptist minister.
