Yes... The local church itself was normally a "small group" in New Testament times. The church often met in members homes and was thus forced to meet in smaller groups by a lack of available space.
Today's "mega-churches" allow too many people and situations to 'fall through the cracks' where the pattern we see in the New Testament would have likely prevented it.
A study was performed several years ago which indicated that almost all "growing churches" included weekly (or more often) meetings of 20 or fewer adults. A variety of possibilities existed for these meetings, like conventional small groups in homes during the week, "Sunday school" classes, etc. but they existed in most growing churches.
Should every Christian be in a small group for bible study %26amp; accountability?
Yes. You won't find truth in Churchianity. Bless the creators name (YHVH)
Reply:I think that every person should have and accountability partner.
