Community Groups
Why have community groups?
The purpose of our community group ministry is to establish and grow community groups that learn, apply and live out the gospel in community.
- The gospel - the good news that God's kingdom has broken into our world through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This good news includes the message of reconciliation of sinners to God, the restoration of our broken humanity and the coming renewal of all things.
- Community group - a small group of people (6-12) who commit to gather regularly and share life together.
- Learn the gospel - Our community groups will seek to learn the practice of gospel-intentionality. The message of Scripture will be central to discussion. Members or visitors will freely bring their questions, doubts, and struggles without fear of judgment or condemnation and with the hope that the gospel speaks to every aspect of our lives.
- Apply the gospel - Our community groups will encourage members to "process" the gospel. Through mutual accountability, authenticity and encouragment members will give and receive grace & speak and listen to the truth. In the context of the community, Spiritual gifts will be identified and exercised.
- Live Out the gospel- Our community groups will be environments where the "one-anothers" of the gospel will be practiced. Our groups will focus on the corporate and individual mission that flows out of the gospel.
