Home Groups at Bayridge Alliance

Home groups at Bayridge Alliance

Small home groups are a great way to get to know people at Bayridge. They provide a community where you can study and ask questions together, share life's experiences and just generally be connected!

BAC small groups are led by church members and there are groups all over the city. Some groups are age-based, some are topical and some run just for a short period of time.

    This series, developed by Scope Ministries, seeks to deal with solutions rather than symptoms and people's potential rather than their problems. The study material is based on the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, is Christ centered and brings individuals into a practical, life-changing experience through the renewing of their belief system.

    These are the sample of some of the topics that are covered: Discovering the root of our problems, understanding the Good News, seeing ourselves as God sees us, getting to know Our Heavenly Father, and living by the Spirit.

    Do you ever feel like God is not hearing your prayer? The prophet Habakkuk did. He looked at the injustice around him and wondered why God did not seem to change the situation. As he continued to look to God, the prophet ended up getting answers...but they were far different from what he expected. Learn how to worship in the middle of worry, confusion, and frustration in this practical study of Habakukk.
