Community Groups

Community Groups are places of care and community where we live the Christian life together.

Why should I attend a Community Group?
We were created to be in relationships. We were created to be known, loved, and cared for, and to do the same for others. But in a city like Seattle, relationships can be hard to develop. It is easy to get lost amid the pressures and busyness of everyday life. Community groups are a way to intentionally live life, particularly the Christian life, with others.

What happens at a Community Group?
Groups of six to twelve people meet regularly to do things like discuss the Bible or other important topics, worship, pray, serve, and fellowship.

What Community Group should I attend?
Finding the right Community Group is like finding the right coffee shop: you have to try out a few and see which one fits best. We recommend contacting Michael Subracko for suggestions. If that doesn't work for you, we recommend talking to Michael about starting a Community Group that works with your schedule or that meets near where you live.

Are Community Groups only for Christians?
Community Groups are for anyone. Though groups do distinctively Christian activities, we encourage anyone interested to attend. In fact, we think that participating in a Community Group is one of the best ways to investigate Christianity. Groups will give you an intimate opportunity to see the strengths and weaknesses of Christian community, ask questions, and hear from Christians about what they believe.

Vulnerability is the core of shame, fear and struggle for worthiness.
But it’s also the birthplace of creativity, of belonging and love.
