And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
About LifeGroups
Welcome to the LifeGroup page for Dayton Avenue Baptist Church. We’re so glad you’re here. Thank you for taking the time to find out more about our groups.
Our mission at Dayton Avenue Baptist Church is to make disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ through evangelism, service, biblical instruction, and fellowship. God designed us for relationships within a community. We also believe that authentic life change happens in the context of genuine relationships centered on God’s Word, which is why, as a church, we strongly encourage involvement in small groups.
To that end, we provide several small group Bible studies, called LifeGroups, where adults can be ministered to and use their gifts and abilities to bless others. Most LifeGroups are offered on Sunday mornings at 9:30 and 11 a.m., parallel to the worship service times. One LifeGroup meets during the week. There are other Bible study classes (non-LifeGroups) that meet during the week as well.
On the following pages discover the variety of options designed to grow your faith. We have LifeGroups for men, women, coed, old, young, married, single, and multi-generational. There is a fully staffed nursery to care for your little ones, and we have classes for children and teens, pre-school up through high school.
As an assembly of Christians, we believe in absolute truth revealed in God’s Word, incarnate in His Son Jesus, who is the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Heavenly Father except through Him. These claims are the heart of the mission and message we would love to share with you today.
