Community Groups

Why Community Groups?

God made us social creatures who long for connections. While we all have Facebook "friends" and social media "followers," real connections are harder and harder to make.
At Immanuel, we believe that discipleship (being a growing follower of Jesus) happens through relationships.
Community Groups are where we make personal connections with other people who are on the same faith journey. We gather to laugh, encourage, pray, and grow in our understanding together. It is where we seek to live out our identity as disciples on mission.

What are Community Groups?

Community Groups typically meet for about 90 minutes in homes throughout the region or at the church. These gatherings consist of fellowship, Bible study, and prayer.
Many of our groups build on the message from the previous Sunday. Some will have other topics.
