- Community Groups -
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. (Romans 15:5-7)
Community groups are an essential place where we seek to cultivate the kinds of relationships that reflect God’s work in the gospel.
The gospel is a work that restores the relationships with God and others that sin has broken. Although God saves men and women as individuals, He saves them into a new community–a family! And, if God has made His people into a family, they should live like one in authentic love and sacrificial good works toward each other and the world around them — not to earn His love, but in response to His love. (1 John 4:11)
Community groups are where we hope those kinds of gospel-centered relationships can thrive.
- where we can grow in our love for God and one another together around His grace-filled Word
- where we can find rest from the anxiety and pressures of life in the city and bear one another’s burdens in new and deeper relationships
- where we can support and encourage one another as we reflect the love of God in Christ to our coworkers, friends and neighbors.
- And, where we can help one another better follow Jesus
Though the locations will vary--homes around the city, apartment buildings, and rented spaces--our goal is the same: to live out the New Testament "one another" commands in small groups across the Cache Valley.
