“If there is so much blessing and joy even in a single encounter of brother with brother, how inexhaustible are the riches that open up for those who by God’s will are privileged to live in the daily fellowship of life with other Christians!” -- Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Life Together)
The following spaces are where relationships, prayer, scripture reading, love for one another, accountability, encouragement, and many other disciplines are planted and nurtured. Life Together is where the most intentional disciple making occurs:
Community Space (think of Jesus being among the crowds)
This space would be any ministry initiative planned on a larger scale including block parties, park tours, GO Pulaski, Bags of Joy (Christmas), etc
Small Group Space (think of Jesus with the twelve disciples)
This is a smaller space ranging from 5-15 people who meet weekly to hang out, eat, pray, and open the Bible together to introduce the disciple making principles of life together. This space includes our middle and high school youth group. Check out the App for the current Small Groups available!
D28 Space (think of Jesus with Peter, James, and John)
D28 triads range from 2-5 people, based on gender and someone’s personal desire for accountability and desire to grow deeper in their faith. D28 groups meet weekly to focus on life, prayer, and God’s Word while cultivating accountability.
We also offer a discipleship training option for this space. We partner with The Timothy Initiative (TTI) for a 3 to 4 month journey that requires high accountability and a high commitment. Among other things, you learn how to share your story, how to share God's story, how to cultivate a personal devotional time and prayer life, how to study and grow as you read God's Word, etc.
Personal Space (think of Jesus alone with the Father)
This is a space that we cannot overemphasize as disciples of Jesus. Life happens at 100+ mph for many of us and it is too easy to forget this space in our daily routine. Walking by the Spirit can be cultivated by the other spaces but it has to happen when we consistently plan the time to get alone with the Father in prayer, Scripture reading, and other forms of spiritual discipline.
Micro Church Space (think of the early church)
Although new to many of us, micro churches (also known as house churches) are a biblical and ancient way of gathering together. They are where all of these spaces converge. This is where ACTS 2:42 is lived out among families and Jesus, above all else, is the common denominator.
