What Are Hope Groups?
We are committed to being a church OF small group communities
rather than simply a church WITH small groups. Some
use the term cell-based church. We prefer to call ourselves
a cell-celebration church. Whatever you call us, we
are keenly aware that Hope Groups are an extremely vital
part of our church's DNA. Why?
Hope Groups are not simply:
- Bible studies - although we focus on applying the truth of the God’s Word.
- Fellowship groups - although authentic relationships are formed here.
- Prayer groups - although we always make time for prayer.
- Task groups - although each group has a mission – they are outward-focused.
Hope Groups meet weekly in homes, apartments, and dorms throughout the city.
Hope Groups consist of between 5 and 25 people there are groups made up of youth, college age, adults and families. Some are intergenerational.
Hope Groups welcome anyone with a desire to encounter the life-giving reality of Jesus Christ in authentic community.
