What is a servant group?
A servant group is an intentional face-to-face group (3-12 people) who meet at a regular time
(often twice a month) to focus on a certain task or certain tasks (study, prayer, sharing,
social action, etc.) with the intention of growing in Christ and actualizing the reign of the
God in one's life and in the world.
A servant group is similar to a small group, cell group, or house church, but we like to
emphasize the servant nature of our church.

NT Greek Reading Group.
This group focuses on reading and translating the Greek New Testament.
Currently, we are working through Luke's Gospel. Each person reads a verse
in Greek and then translates into English, using “whatever it takes,”
including computer programs (Bible Works and Logos), interlinear Bibles,
grammars, hand books, and other helps. In this way, we are able to
include both beginners and advanced students. We meet on Wednesday from
1:30 to 3:00 pm at Lorraine Avenue Mennonite Church. Contact Jerry at
263-0204 or jtruex1@cox.net.
Hospitality Group. Although we are not technically a servant
group, our purpose is to serve people by making people feel at home at
the Mennonite Church of the Servant. We are responsible for greeting
people on Sunday mornings, organizing "coffee time," inviting newcomers
to fellowship meals, providing meals for people on special occasions,
and organizing potlucks.
