Our Rhythm
OUR WEEKLY & MONTHLY RHYTHMS ARE A LITTLE UNIQUE. HERE'S A QUICK EXPLANATION:
Gathering: 1st and 3rd Sunday of the Month
There’s just nothing like getting the whole ‘family’ together! One the most universally recognizable rhythm in the life of any local church is the weekend gathering for worship. To gather together as a whole community – to worship in song, experience the scriptures together, and to share in the communion of the Lord’s Supper together – is one of the most poignant and powerful expressions of our corporate life in Christ.
HomeGroups: 2nd and 4th Sunday of the Month
Now, we love the “Gathering”, as already mentioned. The trouble with ONLY getting together in large groups, though, is that it is hard to really get to know one another – and see genuine community develop – if we’re only seeing each other in a big room, full of activity and 100+ other folks, once a week. In the Bible, we see that the early Christian church was built upon house fellowships. They didn’t just run into one another for an hour once a week; they did life together! “Church” was spending time, sharing meals, sharing joys and struggles, studying scripture together and lifting one another up in prayer. “Church” was a space where friends in Christ could sit, learn and grow face to face, and not just side by side.
Our HomeGroups are neighborhood-centric communities of 15-20 folks, focused on shared meals, interaction with scripture, prayer, and on the daily, street-level expressions of church life. We’re so committed to the value of getting our whole community involved at this level that we actually give two Sundays a month to HomeGroups.
