The Pilgrimage The life of following Christ was never meant to be solitary. The early Christians pursued it in groups not much larger than your small group, meeting in homes for the first two hundred years of the movement. So whether you’ve joined a group to know a few people well, to learn in a more concentrated setting, or to focus your collective gifts toward a specific end, you are following a time-tested format for spiritual growth.
