The Parish Neighborhood Group Concept:

• Geographically determined by Zip Codes and cities

• Comprised of a cross-section of persons of various ages, cultural backgrounds, vocations and interests

• Providing opportunity for persons with leadership gifts to serve as Shepherd/Leader. Leaders shall be equipped for such ministry by the clergy staff.

• Focusing on fellowship (koinonia), encouraging the development of meaningful relationships for personal support and ministry.

• Preserving a flexible nature, but addressing itself to the goal of being the "Church in miniature", providing opportunities for fellowship, Bible Study, prayer, worship and the sharing of life.

• Ministering to "fringe" members of Metropolitan Church, as well as to new or prospective members.

• Serving as a "beachhead" for the mission and ministry of Metropolitan Church and focusing on opportunities for outreach as well as discipleship

• Meeting at the discretion of the individual PNG’s with a six-week study emphasis during Lent.

Opportunities for Ministry

• Meals/visitation at times of need (grief, hospitalization, etc.)

• Transportation for shut-ins to doctors

• Transportation to church for those unable to come by themselves

• Visitation to shut-ins in PNG area

• Caring Ministry--ministering to the needs of the members, rejoicing with those who rejoice, weeping with those who weep.

• Visitation to first-time visitors (Persons In Evangelism)

• Contacts with those who have recently become inactive at worship

Lenten Study

The Lenten Study is held on the six Sundays of Lent, in homes across the metropolitan area. A few of the smaller groups combine with other groups for this study. Time of the day varies and is set by each group. The study is based on a book chosen by staff and lay leaders.
