Small Group Ministry
What part do Small Groups play in the life of YCC?
The Small Group Ministry of Yamhill Christian Church includes many groups within the church who meet regularly for fellowship, edification, or for ministry. The groups are specifically designed for those who will be regular participants, though visitors are often welcome as the group takes on new participants. There are small groups for everyone from high school up. Some function within specific ministries such as Youth Ministry, Women's Ministry, and Men's Ministry, while others are open to everyone who is interested.

If you want to really connect with Christ and really connect with other people, find one of YCC's Smaller Group opportunities that matches your needs and schedule!
What are the small group options?

To someone considering participating in a Yamhill Christian Church small group:
Are you a person who enjoys and benefits from Sunday church services but hasn't gotten involved in some of those other small group meetings you keep hearing about? Do you desire closer relationships and greater mutual encouragement with caring people? Perhaps you know that church isn't a building or even a meeting but that the church is people, the body of Christ where "each member belongs to all the others," (Romans 12:5). Wherever you fit into the last three sentences, small group involvement at Yamhill Christian Church has potential to help your life become a vital, practical, daily experience of walking with Jesus and His people. A large variety of small group meetings are available, both groups aimed at specific populations like teens, couples, or men, and also gatherings open to everyone. By getting involved in one or more of these groups, you'll be entering into some of the lifestyle of the early church as described in Acts 2:46:
"Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts."
