Coming this Fall....Missional Community Groups

We live in a world that is disconnected. Yet we yearn for connections. Everyone wants to know and to be known by others. Ultimately, we were made for community. People thrive, grow, and mature because of community. At Compass, we recognize that community plays an important role in helping people grow in their spiritual maturity. It is not enough to have people just attend Sunday service each week to be spiritual fed through the Word and participate in praise and worship. People need to be encourage, challenged, and held accountable to live out the teachings of Jesus within an authentic community.

That is why we are working hard to launch Missional Community Groups this Fall 2010. Missional Community Groups (MCGs) are more than just a Bible study group or a prayer group. It also has the aspect of being purposefully missional. This means that those within the group will be challenged to live out the love of God that taught each of his disciples. It means that the groups will be challenged to serve the community around them. To find ways in reaching out and making a presence within their community.

The three main objective of each MCG is to:

1) Connect people to God through His Word
2) Connect people to each other through fellowship
3) Connect people to greater community through service and evangelism

We believe that any group that holds to these three objectives and are able to fulfill them, they will not only survive but also thrive. Each member will grow in their spiritual maturity. The group will be a magnet that draws people, inside and outside of the church, because of how its lives out the love of Christ.
