Community Hubs

« Back to Hubs Overview

Community Hubs

Community Hubs are meant to foster relationships, promote spiritual growth and provide a context for care. They share meals, share stories, read and study the Bible and pray for each other. These groups meet at various times and locations. In an effort to include as many congregants as possible, we are offering several format options—open (in person, mid-sized group), capped (in person with a maximum of ten adults), and virtual (i.e. Zoom). Due to the smaller and more congested nature of our classrooms, we are asking all Hub participants to wear a face covering—at least until they are in their seat. As long as they are able to maintain physical distancing, class leaders and teachers will not be required to wear a face covering when addressing the group.

Life Groups

Various Times & Locations

Life Groups are the next stage of friendship, discipleship and accountability after large and mid-sized groups. These are smaller groups of three to four invited individuals, and the group leader, all of the same gender, who meet twice a month at a time and place of their choosing (for 90 minutes or less) for the purpose of intentional discipleship and growing in the image of Christ (via deeper, more open discussions, accountability, sustained self-reflection, sustained prayer for others, etc.). This is an opportunity to have more accountability and open conversation than one could generally have in a co-ed Community Hub setting.
