COMMUNITY GROUPS AND MISSIONS:

IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY (John 13:34-35; Eph. 2:11-22)

Through the gospel, we go from isolation and disunity into a beautiful adoption that provides us purpose, community and acceptance, as members of God's own household.  And the Lord's family doesn't all look the same either, rather, it is a diverse population, from various ethnicities, cultures, ages, nationalities, etc.  Our sincere desire is that our faith family would display the power of the gospel to bring deep unity and friendships to people with very different backgrounds.  We believe that when the gospel is properly proclaimed and applied in a diverse community, a new family is formed around Christ and His gospel.  


COMMUNITY GROUPS – What Should They Look Like?

A major part in establishing gospel-centered community involves our weekly Community Groups.  These groups meet in people's homes to show that the gospel can bring together those who may not naturally spend time together.  A typical gathering includes food, fellowship, sharing, a bible study/discussion, and prayer.  Groups may also partner together for local missions/service projects to make an impact in our great city.


MISSIONAL LIVING:

Followers of Christ are missionaries for Christ. God has sovereignly determined our birth date and our address (Acts 17:26) so that we might know Him and make Him known (Mt. 28:18-20).   Our goal is to see all of our members equipped to faithfully engage the community that God has called them to.
