Connection in Biblical Community--Seven Functions of Biblical Community: Home Groups in S.E.R.V.I.C.E.
Spiritual Formation
Pursue development in Christ using tools like the Christian Life Profile; through the year, share progress and encourage one another monthly in pursuit of Christ-likeness.
Evangelism
Commit to pray for at least three Seeker households within their neighborhood; praying together monthly for those households.
Recreation
Find opportunity for spontaneous and genuine expressions of Christian beliefs, practices and virtues. Invite others to recreational activities; bridging the gap between isolation and connection.
Volunteerism
Commit to support the greater Body of Christ at our Church through involvement in ministries such as youth, children, worship, ushers, and greeters. We will celebrate what God is doing in the greater Body of Christ at our Church at least quarterly.
International Missions
As an expression of our desire to share Christ with the world, the Biblical Community will support monthly at least one International Missions Project through increased awareness, commitment to prayer, work project, or financial contributions.
Care
Care for one another, manifested in practical help to those in difficult and crisis situations, i.e. hospital or home visits, meal preparation, validation, prayer, referral to resources, etc.
Extending Compassion
Respond to the social needs of our community, commit to participate in local onsite compassion projects as families through the year. We will celebrate together the impact we are making from time to time.
