RELATIONAL
While still placing an emphasis on the study of scripture, relational groups also have a familial focus because the group typically meets regularly over multiple semesters. The group members become friends. But more significantly, they experience what it means to be a family. A biblical family is one in which ALL of life is shared, the ups and downs and the triumphs and defeats. A healthy relational group will be like a healthy family – everyone is accepted, loved, held to account, and supported, no matter the circumstances.
