What's an Encounter Group?

so this week, Encounter Groups within Chi Alpha will begin. but some people might not really know what an "Encounter Group" is?

basically, an EG is a Chi Alpha small group that YOU can get involved with. throughout the week, Chi Alpha leaders host an EG at various times and locations. if you're new, it's a great way to get to know your peers; and if you're not, then it's the place where you can mature your relationships and be challenged further in your own faith/journey. each group can be designed differently (having different structures/focuses, etc...) and is meant to adapt to the needs and interests of its members. some groups may simply be a Bible study, while others may organize more like a discussion forum. in any case, your EG is purposed to provide you with a much more closer-knit environment to ask your questions, share your ideas, and grow closer to God and others.

now, here's a chance for you to share right here: what kinds of things would you like to see your EG do? what kinds of topics would interest you? what would cause you to check out a group?

and discuss...
