Community Groups

{C O M M U N I T Y  G R O U P S}

-Community groups are one of the primary vehicles through which Epic Church gathers to live life for Jesus in and among the city: knowing culture, loving people, and seeing lives transformed for Jesus through authentic relationships.

It is our purpose to see lives transformed by integrating all areas of life and faith, developing relationships to live out love for Jesus in community, and to see expressions of gifts being used to further the kingdom of God within the city.

WHAT DO COMMUNITY GROUPS ACTUALLY DO
Weekly meetings involve food, conversation, prayer, and discussion for applying the Bible to practical living. Community Groups are an environment for building relationships with one another, which strongly emphasizes challenging one another to drive God’s Word deeply into our lives. Most Groups follow the Sunday message series; although some may choose to work through another book of the Bible. Community groups are much more than a Bible study however, they are community, a place where we can laugh, cry, work and play together for glory of Jesus. This means you could expect BBQ’s, yard work for an elderly neighbor, bowling, visiting people in the hospital, birthday parties.etc.

SERMON BASED GROUPS
At Epic Church we will always honor Scripture as the means by which God has chosen to reveal Himself and His Truth to us. In keeping with that conviction, our community groups focus on building life changing relationships around the teachings of Scripture. Our expectation is that the community groups not merely discuss the content of the message, but go even further and discuss the actual sections of Scripture upon which the sermon was based. In this way, the collective insights from the personal study of each group member more fully enriches everyone’s understanding of what God is saying through His Word. Each week curriculum is provided for Community Group Leaders to facilitate the discussion.

BECOMING A PART OF THE COMMUNITY
