At Village Bible Church our small group ministry is fun, encouraging, and an opportunity for you to develop lasting friendships while going deeper in God's Word.  At Village Bible we call our small groups Village Berean Groups or VBG's to remind ourselves how vital it is to search the Scriptures with great zeal so we can know King Jesus better and continue to grow in worshiping Him and living for Him. "Now these people were more noble-minded...for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so." (Acts 17:11)  

At Village Bible Church we utilize the Three Thirds Small Group structure to serve as a template for our VBG's to guide our dialogue. Here is a simple breakdown for small group gatherings:
