Small Groups Are Essential
Parkway’s small groups allow us to fulfill the “real people walking with Christ” vision of our church. In these groups we seek to follow Christ as we study His word, care for each other, and build genuine relationships by doing life together. They also become the place where new people are received and truly made part of the family. Our corporate worship gatherings (Sundays and other occasions) and our small groups function together like the two wings of a plane—both are needed for our spiritual vitality.
In clear terms, small groups are our “first line of defense” in three significant areas:

What curriculum do you use in your small groups?
Most of the time we use curriculum that parallels the pastor’s sermon series and allows
us to go deeper with the Scriptures and topics addressed in corporate worship. Our leaders
seek to help group members truly engage with the Bible and apply its truths to life.
