What is an SCC?
Often, the small faith sharing groups formed for the Be My Witness program continue after the program ends. These groups are then referred to as Small Christian Communities, or SCCs. If you wish to become part of an existing SCC and are not sure where to start, contact the Be My Witness coordinators.
