Parish Neighborhood Group Ministry (PNG)

The early Christians, needing both the worship of the temple and the body life of the church, met in small groups for mutual support in study and prayer.

Metropolitan’s concept of the Parish Neighborhood Group Ministry is therefore, biblically based. It is an experience of the church in depth and in miniature, augmenting and intensifying the quality of our work and study together as a larger congregation.

We believe that a small group is part of the strategy of our Lord for the growth of the Church and of its members.

The basic purpose of the Neighborhood Fellowship is to extend the centralized church into the local area and to authentically become the "church in miniature." More specifically, the Neighborhood Fellowship is a vehicle to develop, nurture and intensify relationships of its members to one another and to Jesus Christ, and to provide a avenue for reaching out to the many local neighborhoods in which our members reside.

Such purposes can be accomplished through Bible Study, prayer, fellowship, worship and mutual sharing of successes, failures, the joys and the problems of life as well as combining our efforts and reaching out to the unchurched.
