Upcoming Leader Training Opportunities
Why Community Groups?
Our mission is to glorify God by making (adult) disciples of Jesus Christ in Wayne and beyond. They are key to Loving Others in the Vision and Discipleship Process (Love God- Love Others – Serve the World). Community Groups exist to promote spiritual maturity and personal growth through meaningful Christian relationships and the study of God’s Word. We’ll do this by focusing on four primary activities: Share, Study, Support, and Serve.
At each gathering, we’ll take time to share what is happening in our lives. This sharing may include planned “icebreaker questions” or, over time, will likely become more informal and personal as we feel more comfortable.
A core component of each gathering is to study a section from God’s Word that relates to the previous Sunday’s sermon (or an appropriate book study topic). Our goal is to learn how to live out our faith in everyday life.
Each week we’ll learn how to take care of one another as Christ commanded (John 15:9-13). This care can take many forms such as prayer, encouragement, listening, challenging one another, and meeting real needs.
Spiritual growth is also fostered through service to others. The role each of us fills is important to the health of the church and for us to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our community (Eph. 4:11-16). Throughout the quarter, it is our hope that you can find and/or be affirmed in the ways God has designed us to serve as a group and make a difference in God’s Kingdom.
Five Marks of a Healthy Group
For a group to be healthy, we need to…
We use Sticky Church by Larry Osbourne as a reference guide.
- Make spiritual growth our number one priority (Romans 8:29)
- Accept one another (Romans 15:7).
- Take care of one another (John 13:34).
- Treat each other with respect (Eph 4:25-5:2).
- Keep our commitments to the group (Psalm 15:1-2, 4b).
We use Sticky Church by Larry Osbourne as a reference guide.
Five Practices
Our Community Group Advisory Team uses a framework called “5 Practices of an Effective Community Group Ministry” to help us think about wholistic ministry structure and practice for a healthy community group ministry.
