Community Groups
The God of the Bible is a Trinitarian God who is one and three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God has made us in his image, which means we are made for community and friendship. And when we are not living in community we suffer because life in a sinful world is too complex and tempting to journey alone. Therefore, community groups are a place where can live in relationships with one another through the ups and downs of life. Biblical Community is so central to Spiritual health that we say that to be a part of CtK is to be a part of a Community Group. Being a part of a Community Group is not mandatory for CtK members, but is essential for their health.
Our community groups meet 3/4 weeks per month (the other is our church-wide prayer gathering) in homes. A typical meeting includes:
15-20 min: welcome/mixer,
45 min: Sermon discussion using notes from the week's sermon, then
30-45 min: break up into smaller same-gender groups (3-4 people) for prayer.
Groups are being largely centered around geographic areas of Raleigh. This is for the purpose of built-in diversity. While this is often not ideal to promote social cohesion in groups it “builds in” diversity in the groups. Affinity groups will always happen. But we are working geographically in the hope that the group is diverse in ages and life stations. It also facilitates our relationships; we hope people see one another in their neighborhood. Finally, it encourages a missional focus: a common prayer focus and serving opportunities in their geography.
How Do I Get Connected to a Community Group?
- If you are new to Christ the King the easiest way to get connected is on Sunday: before or after the service, stop by the info table at the back of the worship space. A volunteer will personally walk you through the process and connect you with a group.
- You can begin participating in a community group at Christ the King at any time, and we are glad to welcome you. They are all “open groups.”
