HomeGroup

Home Fellowship Groups are the primary pathway for people to connect and grow in Biblical community here at Manzanita Baptist Church.  Home Fellowhip Groups exist so that our people can know Christ, come to be known and come to know others in Christian fellowship and Biblical unity. 

Together, HFGs embody the mission of MBC: To Proclaim the Living Christ; Provide a Living Hope and to Produce Living Desciples.  Our heart's desire is to say "Yes!" to Jesus by giving ourselves away.  As we seek to exalt Christ and lift up His cross we will individually and collectively enjoy tre Biblical community that will result in like minded core values, intimate interpersonal relationships and a deeper personal relationship and commitment to Jesus Christ.

Our goal is to be able to present every man and woman, boy and girl, perfect and spiritually mature in Christ Jesus.  HFGs are led by a team of godly men and women throughout the neighborhoods in the Kingman area.  All Home Fellowhip Groups are open and seek to welcome new visitors every week. 

We encourage you to give us a try and become enfolded into the body life and family of Manzanita Baptist Church.   Currently there are twelve different groups who meet around the community.  There is at least one group meeting every day of the week, so there is sure to be a group that will fit into your schedule.

Each group incorporates elements of prayer and fellowship, with emphasis on relationship; with God and with each other.Lighthouse

 

Prayer, Care, and Share:  The strength of the body of Christ is multiplied as we come together with singleness of purpose. When we serve together our witness is more effective in building a foundation of Prayer, a lifestyle of Care and a willingness to Share God's love and message in every sphere of influence given by God. These three emphases form the essential building blocks for effective evangelism and also for a cultural change process that will both enable and sustain God's continuing outreach in our community. What is a Lighthouse?

A Lighthouse is a person, family or small group committed to pray for, care for and share Christ with family members, friends, classmates, coworkers and neighbors, especially those who do not know him. Praying, caring, sharing Christians impact the lives of those in their circle of influence. Prayer moves God’s hand in their lives (James 5:16). Caring demonstrates God’s love in practical ways (Romans 12:21). Sharing exposes them to the power of the gospel (Romans 1:16).
