Gospel Community Groups

Redemption Church isn’t a charitable organization that does good things, although we are stirred up to good works. Redemption Church isn’t a social club, although we want to provide a sense of belonging. We are a church, a community of followers of Jesus.

True community is where real life change happens; where people can share their lives and their hearts with one another, pray for one another, bear one another’s burdens, and gladly meet the needs of others. Our goal is to see the Gospel change lives. The context in which Gospel change happens is in Gospel Community Groups.

In short, Gospel Community Groups simply means, doing life with one another where the Gospel is central. Central in the mind, heart, affections, desires, relationships, and all of life because the Gospel is the soil in which our relationships in community are grounded and rooted. Gospel Community Groups are a special means of grace for increasing joy in God, deepening relationships with one another, saturating life with the Gospel, and encouraging and strengthening personal faith.

On Sunday mornings we gather as a church, but for the rest of the week we scatter into Gospel Community Groups. Our mission is to build relationships that encourage application of the Gospel to one another’s lives and proclamation of the Gospel in word and deed to our city. Groups meet weekly to encourage one another from the Scriptures to love Jesus and to love their neighbors. Gospel Communities are more than Bible studies or prayer groups—they are welcoming, authentic, deep extended families seeking to know and love Jesus as a group, apply the Gospel directly to the lives within community, connect to one another with the Gospel message, and together connecting the Gospel to the culture.
