Missional Communities
Experiencing the Gospel Together in Community
Missional Communities
Through our small missional communities, members dive deeper and challenge themselves in thought and action. Missional communities aim to break the cycle of injustice through active love, helping others to understand God’s presence in their lives. Through monthly service opportunities, we open our hearts to God’s plan and allow ourselves to be used for His mission.
If you have more questions about our Missional Communities, you can contact Pastor Jared.

yes, either pitch-in each time or rotating among group members
What they do together:
eat together, then discussion, then prayer (including times of guided contemplative prayer led by Julie)
What they study:
The first few meetings will focus on relationship building, and then we will either pick a book of the Bible to study or pick a book that speaks to common interests/needs of the group.
Children Involvement:
We would prefer not to, if possible. If anyone is interested in our group but is struggling with childcare arrangements, we could discuss on a case-by-case basis I suppose. (Example: I think it would be easier for someone with an infant to participate in discussion than someone with a 2-to-4-year-old!)

Sara Culleton, Kaity Schlegel, and Julie Avila
