Every word of God is pure;
Biblical Worldview
Grounded in biblical perspective, you stand firm in the Truth of Jesus and share it in your everyday life.
BEGINNER Next Steps
Understanding the Bible might be intimidating for you. You might have tried a reading plan in the past but didn’t get anything out of it. You rely more on what your heart is telling you than try to discern the “ancient message” in God’s written word… however your heart hasn’t always been the best leader.

What is the difference between a Study Group, group study, Small Group, and Discipleship Group?
- A "Study Group" is a group or class that is designed to go through a specific study and that study only. The group ends when the study duration is over.
- A "group study" is materials and resources that are available for you to introduce to the Small Group you already attend or lead to help bring focus and growth to everyone in attendance.
- "Small Groups" range in size depending on the homes they meet in. Small groups can be based on location, demographic, or interests (ex. "Men over 40", "Young Adults", "Parents of Teens", etc.)
- "Discipleship Groups" (also known as D-Groups) are groups of 3-5 men or women that are dedicated to regular meetings of growing in their discipleship pathway together using specific materials, and toward the goal of mentoring others through their own D-Groups.
Contact Matt (matt@ouracc.org) to learn more about starting your own Small Group or D-Group.
