S.E.E.D. Groups

Are you looking for a group of Christians that are interested in growing in faith together, helping each other love God, and sharing life as you do this? Then S.E.E.D. Groups are what you need!

What is a S.E.E.D. Group?

S.E.E.D. Groups are communities of people who Love God and Share how Jesus is actively transforming their lives as they Grow in Faith together, and serve as one of the small group ministries of FUMC McAllen. These groups do not gather together to study scripture or work through a curriculum together but instead focus on mutual accountability to one another, led by a trained S.E.E.D. Group leader.

There are two centerpieces that make S.E.E.D. Groups unique: First, all members will share how God has been active in their life. Secondly, a shared covenant, modeled after John Wesley’s General Rules, will serve as a guide for all members to live by. The goal is that these two key components of the group will indeed foster authentic growth in the lives of all the members as we seek to become a people that Love God, Share Jesus, and Grow Faith.
