"Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves ... Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." Eph. 4:13-16 (NIV)

Christ-centered relationships hold the key to our "growing up" into Christian maturity. We cannot get there on our own. Without meaningful connections with other believers, we quickly gravitate toward living for today instead of striving for the eternal. Such relationships provide the love, support, and encouragement we need to become all that God has planned for us to be.
Here at HCBCSW our small groups are set up to be the primary way that people are cared for, encouraged, supported, and loved. Each small group has a shepherd, a leader whose number one priority is the spiritual care, health, and growth of the people in their group.
Groups meet all over the southwest Austin area. Check out the online database to find a small group that meets close to you.
