Compassion Groups

We pursue God and grow in our love for Him. In our fallen world, we tend to live as if we are our own gods. We often seek to live apart from God, preferring our independence over a relationship with our Creator. Through the gospel, however, Jesus transforms our hearts and moves us to a place where we recognize God as King, Father, and Savior! It becomes our joy to know, serve, and worship Him.

We learn how to love one another well. This includes sharing each other’s burdens, praying for each other, encouraging each other, and forgiving each other as Christ forgives us. New people are not left out, but drawn in as they experience the love of Christ within our group.

Each Compassion Group has a defined and shared mission. Our shared mission is made up of a neighborhood or a common focus. Some examples include: neighbors who live on your block or in your school district, young families with kids, people experiencing homelessness, immigrants, single parents, co-workers, college students, or recovering addicts.

During the first week of every month, we’ll study Scripture together. We’ll learn different methods of how to study the Bible, and practice hearing from God.

In the second week of every month, we’ll focus on equipping members on what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. These weeks serve as a launching point for group members to engage in relationship discipleship throughout the month.

In the third week of every month, group members will serve in the community based on their mission focus. Serving events usually won’t take place during the normal group meeting time, but scheduled throughout the week instead.

In the fourth week of every month, the group will eat a family meal together. The meal will be organized in advance so group members know what to bring. Throughout the night, group members will share how they saw God at work while serving the week before.

In a month where there is a 5th week or meeting, the group will do something fun together. We encourage the group to do something locally to support the community.
