DETAILS

• Community Groups are how we will live out our value of Community: a family of disciples on God’s mission for our city.

• This value shapes the Community Group rhythm:

  • Family: (PLAY) One week will ONLY be about connecting and having fun together (a shared meal, beach day, A’s game, game night, etc.)

  • Disciples: (LEARN) One week will ONLY be about learning the way of Jesus through Sermon-based group discussion, life application, and prayer.

  • Missionaries: (SERVE) One week will ONLY be about serving our neighbors (either by addressing the needs within a 5 mile radius of where you meet, or through participation in an all-church service event.)

  • This PLAY-LEARN-SERVE rhythm can happen in any order, and the Group Leaders can decide which one they’ll do for any remaining weeks in the month.

• Group Leaders are supported by a Community Group Coach, who provides one-off training for rookie leaders, as well as ongoing bite-sized and needs-based training for veteran leaders throughout the year.

• A team of Discussion Guide Writers create the Sermon-based Study Guides which are available on our website after our Worship Gatherings.
