Spring 2008: 20s & 30s Small Group Listing
The small group ministry exists to nurture and mature members in the context of intimate community and
to serve as a place where new members can be brought into the church and introduced to Christ.
Our small groups meet regularly on Friday evenings as we share our lives with one another, pray for one another,
dig into the Word, and build each other up in the Lord. We believe that these groups are vital for the development
and maturation of Christians. Our small groups are organized by location, and we also have a few focus groups to
choose from. Come and see how God is moving in our lives, click

Renewal's Small Group Ministry and its vision.

Center City (Art Museum) Small Group
|
|

Small Group Leader: Pastor Dwight Yoo
Location Description: The Art Museum area is also referred to as the
Fairmount section of Philadelphia (named for the hill upon which the Philadelphia Museum
of Art stands). Fairmount is just north of the museum. It borders the Benjamin Franklin
Parkway, Philly's version of the Champs Elysées and Fairmount Park, the largest urban park
in the world. In this sense it's an area that symbolizes rich and diverse culture. Likewise,
our small group is diverse and consists of people from all walks of life. (Married, Singles,
Families, Working, Students, those who live in the city and those from the 'burbs'.) This
provides a wonderful opportunity to learn from one another, build each other up and share
in genuine Gospel-centered community. Please join us on Friday nights at 7pm for food
(physical and spiritual) and fellowship!

Center City (Chinatown) Small Group
|
|

Small Group Leader: Pastor Won Ho Kim
Location Description: Chinatown has a rich cultural heritage,
from great cheap eats to the Convention Center to...the Center City/Chinatown small group!!!
We definitely are not the most cultured people in the world, since bowling is by far our favorite
pastime. But what we lack in culture, we make up for in our love for one another, our quick
and clever wit, and our desire to grow in the grace of Jesus Christ. Come join us on Fridays
(and Saturdays and Tuesdays and Sundays) as we grow in our faith, particularly as it concerns
finding a parking spot in Chinatown. Seriously, we would love to have you join us as we strive
for deep relationships with one another in order that we may experience Christ together.

City Ave "Salt" Small Group
|
|

Small Group Leader: Judy Ha
Location Description: City Ave is where city and suburb intersect
and our small group represents that unique mixture of young adults studying and working to
make an impact in this world. Some of us live or work in the city and some of us live or
work in the suburbs. Though we come in with different backgrounds and callings, we meet
once a week on City Ave where we can bridge the differences and are united through Christ
into one family.
Our group believes we are called to be Salt and Light wherever God has placed us.
We meet together to be renewed through the study of the word and to have fellowship
with one another. We want to be the salt of the earth that preserves God's word and
ways and we desire to be a body of believers who create a 'thirst' to know more about
Christ and to live for His eternal kingdom.

City Ave Small Group

Small Group Leaders: Eric Jan, Lawrence Lee
Location Description: Hello Renewal! We've named ourselves
"El Grupo de City Ave" because we are the small group of City Avenue and we love Hispanic
Heritage Month. We're located in the northwestern suburban communities of Bala Cynwyd,
Merion Station, and Penn Wynne... but there's nothing suburban about this group.
We're here to be the salt, light, and some salsa to our world as we grow together
in our relationship with Christ.

Small Group Leaders: Jeremy Fahringer, Tze Wei Choo, Heran Park

Knowing God through his Word, studying the Bible inductively for life transformation,
seeing the parts of the Bible in context and in the bigger picture of God¹s plan, gaining
the tools to study the whole Bible for the rest of our lives, to build our faith upon the truth.
We feel led to continue this small group toward the next things that God has for us.

equipped to know him more. Our group can build on the foundations that God has put in place
as we inductively study the bible, book by book, in its entirety.
