Christ Community
Community Groups
Why community?
Community is where we live out our vision to make disciples of Jesus to love, serve, grow and renew.
God roots our maturity in community. That’s not because God is a fan of “doing church.” It’s because God desires us to experience the loving communion that exists between Father, Son, and Spirit. Also, because doing life together with others forms us more into the image of Jesus. This is the value of a Community Group. They remind us that since Jesus established the church to function as an embassy of his Kingdom reign and rule, smaller yet visible outposts are needed to represent his name and practice his ways—for the growth of each other and the good of Franklin.
We place a high emphasis on encouraging every follower of Jesus to prioritize their formation in Christ—through sharing life with others and to move beyond living “alone” and practice living your life in Christ—with others—in a Community Group.
