As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

D-groups
Smithville FBC has developed D-Groups for men and women which follow what Jesus did with his own D-Group of Peter, James and John. These groups of 3-5 members meet to study God's words more deeply and discuss how they have meaning in our world today. The group chooses a daily quiet time to read and study on their own and gets together on a weekly basis to discuss the scripture of the week. This is a perfect opportunity for groups of men and groups of women to come together, build accountability, pray, and study the word. The fellowship is meant to lead into creating trust to have open discussions of living for Christ and help us gain accountability partners within the group. After a coupe of years of fellowship they are meant to divide into pairs to start new groups to expand the fellowship into other groups.
