Success at Palm Valley Church is defined by how effectively our ministries help people take the next steps in their relationship with Christ. Getting connected into the church and developing relationships is an important step in this process. We have several environments where relationships can begin to form (
Single Life, Married Life, Active Adult Life and
Playgroups). These, however, are just where relationships start.
At Palm Valley Church, the home team is the best place for sustained life change to occur. In a home team, people study God's Word together and discuss the issues and challenges of life. It's also where they pray, care for one another, and are missed if they don't show up.
Practically speaking, there will never be a way for the staff to personally minister to everyone who attends our church. That's why we place such a high premium on home teams. It's how we minister effectively at Palm Valley Church.
How do I get involved?
New home teams launch at every one of our
Married Life, Single Life, and Active Adult events which occur ever other month. These events are a great way to meet some new people and get connected. If you would like to get connected sooner, feel free to contact a home team leader directly to find out more information about their group.
What Types of Groups are there?
There are several ways that we categorize our Home Teams. The first designation is “Couples and Mixed Groups.” These Home Teams have a mix of married couples and singles. The general age range of each group is listed along with the area of the west valley in which they meet. This is done so that you can find a group that best fits with your current life situation. There are also “Singles Groups” for single adults, “Men’s Groups”, “Women’s Groups”, and “Children’s Groups” for elementary aged children. Finally we have “
Wired Groups” for students in the 6th – 8th grades, and “
Elevator Groups” for High School Students grades 9th-12th. If you need assistance finding a group that best fits your situation, please contact the Home Team department at the church office, (623) 536-2106 or
djohnston@palmvalley.org.
What Does the Group Study?
Each Home Team has the ability to choose their own curriculum within the guidelines set out by the Home Team Ministry at Palm Valley Church. Groups typically rotate the types of studies that they choose ranging from topical studies (Marriage, parenting, serving, etc) to Bible studies where they study a single book of the Bible for a period of time. The exception is that once a year the church provides a study that corresponds to our annual spiritual growth campaign. During this time every home team will be working through the same study that corresponds to daily Bible Studies and the messages from the weekend service.
What should I expect at a typical Home Team Meeting?
Home Team meetings typically last for about 90 minutes. The first portion of the meeting is designed to be a social time where group members catch up on the events of the past week and new members are introduced and welcomed to the group. Next comes the study portion. In the Home Team setting, the studies are designed to be interactive and discussion based. People are encouraged to share in a comfortable and safe environment. The meeting finally closes with prayer. Members are encouraged to share prayer requests and time is taken to pray for all the requests that evening.
