TIME + TRUST = TRANSFORMATION

We are only as deep with God as we are with other people. The goal of the spiritual life is a transformed heart, rooted in Christ, and changed to show kindness, patience, joy, peace, compassion, and love. This doesn’t happen alone. We were made to reach our full potential in community. When we struggle, we need a brother or sister to offer us the strength of Christ. When we sin, we need a brother or sister to offer us the forgiveness of Christ. When we are weak, Christ in our brother or sister is strong. This is how we know God’s presence and promises. That is why we created Core Groups. What is a Core Group?

A core group is a group of three to five people, of the same gender, who read together, pray together, and meet weekly to become the love of God for one another and the world.

No homework. No chapter to read. No qualifications or prerequisites necessary. Just try to walk with God through the week and then come share your heart in a safe, affirming context. Even the leaders are just participants. Core groups help us pay more attention to the inner state of our souls, what is really going on with others, and our attention to what the Spirit of God is speaking to us.
