When God gave Jesus the mission of reaching the world with the good news of His love and grace, Jesus employed a world-changing strategy: he poured his life into a small group (his disciples).
Life change happens in small groups. Small groups can offer you the chance to:
- Grow deeper in your relationship with God
- Connect with others in the church community
- Expand your vision of what God can through and in your life
The early church also provided a model of world-changing community – meeting and sharing together daily in the course of their everyday lives
"They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Every day they continued to meet together... they broke bread in their homes and ate together... and the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Acts 2:42, 44, 46-47Find Biblical Community:

Let it Snow!
Written by Kym, Yorkville Campus
Everyone has been wondering, Why all the snow this year? At the beginning of winter, Dennis' job of building houses had slowed considerably, but he was able to find some work plowing snow...if it snowed of course! So, I asked my small group to pray for SNOW!! Didn't God answer our prayers in an amazing way? We just heard on the news this is the most snow we've had in 30 years!
In our small group, we each made a spiritual development goal for this year and mine was prayer. I love my small group and am so thankful for their prayers. While we journaled through the Psalms, this verse really meant a lot to me...Psalm 5:3 Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. God has been so good to my family, and I'm very grateful that He listens to my prayers. And...sorry to everyone for all the extra shoveling you've had to do, but don't put those shovels away yet!
Joining Square One
Written by AJ, Romeoville Campus
I joined the small group, “Square one” shortly after I started attending the Sunday celebrations at Community. If it were not for my small group I would not have been able to expand my mind and spirit to welcome God into my heart. I was searching to fill a void in my life for quite a long time. Community and my small group have filled in the empty spaces in my life. I am so grateful for the friendships I have developed with each member. My small group as helped me build a strong foundation and understanding of God and the bible.
