WHY WE GATHER
We were made for community. We need each other. We are better together. Jesus even modeled what it looked like to be in community. That is why you might hear it said, "Nobody does the mission alone." As followers of Jesus, and those leaning into what it means to follow Jesus, taking time to connect with one another to learn, grow, and encourage each other is essential for living a life that is People Becoming the Church. It's not always easy to make time for community but it is ALWAYS worth it. Here are a few different ideas of ways to gather with others. Grab a couple people and jump in!
TYPES OF GROUPS

Follow along with the weekly messages in your group by diving into key takeaways and discussion questions that foster leaning into next steps of how the message can be lived out and applied day to day.
(There are resource guides to facilitate safe and engaging connection and conversation for message based groups.)
LIFE STAGE
Are you looking to connect and grow with other who are in a similar life stage? Young marrieds, single, mens, womens, or maybe empty nesters? Investing time in group with others in a similar stage of life can foster great support and connection. With a ton of Jesus-centric tools to lean into, the opportunities for these groups is endless!
