One vital way we pursue God's plan & design for His people and our church’s mission is through community groups. Each week, small groups gather for conversation, prayer, study, and outreach. Our groups are centered around our four Core Values from Acts 2.42-47.

CORE VALUES OF COMMUNITY GROUPS

LOGOS (SCRIPTURE)

In the Greek, the word logos refers to Scripture and involves clarifying the person and work of Jesus, His Kingdom and our response to the call of the gospel. In our community groups, we are committed to submitting to the authority of God as we remain rooted in the Scriptures.

Ethos ETHOS (COMMUNITY)

In the Greek, the word ethos means “character,” or the guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution. We aim to have community groups that are defined by a culture of hospitality, friendship, and caring for one another. We call this “Rocking Philippians 2” (see Philippians 2.1-11).

Pathos PATHOS (EXPERIENCE)

In the Greek, the word pathos has overtones of experience, emotion and suffering. We believe God is both transcendent AND immanent and ministers to us through His Holy Spirit. We want our community groups to be places where people experience this ministry of the Holy Spirit through prayer, through worship, and through the body of Christ as we exercise the gifts of the Holy Spirit and build one another up.

APOSTOLOS (MISSION)

In the Greek, the word apostolos means “sent one.” We see community groups as equipping/sending/refueling stations in the work of disciple-making as defined by Jesus in Matthew 28:16-20.

This includes:
> Evangelism
> Gospel-centered discipleship rooted in community
> Mercy and justice initiatives
> Church planting & foreign missions
> Community engagement

**Due to Covid-19, our community groups have adjusted in order to meet in a safe way. This usually involves meeting outside to ensure social distancing, and other practical things like not sharing a meal. Please reach out to the group leaders to find out the specific plans and structure for that group, if childcare will be provided, etc.**
