Growing Together in Christ.
Community Life describes the life of the church from Monday to Saturday. Our desire is for people to experience authenticity, strength, support, accountability and encouragement through deep and honest relationships. The goal, or vision, is "growing together in Christ." This takes time and work to develop, but it is well worth it! We recognize that community exists in other ministries of the church, but one of the best ways to experience it is for people to get into a Community Life Group.
There are three different types of Community Life Groups. Each group has a purpose and goal and each accomplishes our vision of "growing together in Christ." First, there is the Foyer Group. The purpose of this group is for people to find community. A Foyer group is very open, allowing for new people to come and go without a formal commitment. The goal is for some of those people to get to know one another and take the next step by becoming a Living Room Group. A Living Room Group's purpose is to become familiar with community. They will be a core group of about 12-14 max and will commit to meeting together for one school year. They will grow as they study together, pray for one another and care for each other's needs. As this group goes deeper, they will eventually become a Kitchen Group. The purpose of a Kitchen Group is to become family. This means they are deeply connected to one another. They know each other and love one another as family. True accountability exists in this type of group. It is ideal that a Kitchen Group stay together for a while, and then eventually serve the church by starting new groups. For more info on the types of groups, click here.
The best way for someone to get plugged into a Community Life Group is to be invited by members of a group. This is not the only way, however. LifeLink is an event designed to connect open groups with people who desire to be a part of a group. LifeLink happens twice a year (August and January).
