A Community Group is a subset of the church. Practically speaking, this means each community group operates under the church's doctrinal statement, shares and works toward the bigger purpose, core objectives, vision, goals and strategies of the church, recognizes and operates under the church leadership, and works interdependently with the other community groups.
A community group is a basic Christian community of 8-20 believers. The Bible gives several important metaphors that help explain what a basic Christian community should look like.
“Community Groups” are the foundation of our philosophy of ministry. They are not merely a good program within The Bridge Fellowship... community groups ARE The Bridge Fellowship. That is to say, The Bridge Fellowship is seen by the leadership as a body of "cells". These "cells" are the community groups. Since community groups are so important to this church, it is important for every member to have a clear understanding of what they're all about.
Join a community Group
Our principle avenue for helping people become fully committed disciples of Jesus and grow spiritually is through being a part of one of our Community Groups. We place a premium on meaningful relationships...meaningful relationships that have the opportunity to go deeper than ever before, through a person or a family belonging to a Community Group. Our community groups provide a place to:
● Grow deeper in relationship - Hebrews 10:24-25
● Grow deeper in the Word - Acts 17:11
● Grow deeper in Christ - 2 Peter 3:18
