The Christ life has always been a common life. Our dream is that with each passing day, we will see and know and experience this life that can be fully embodied only in community. This fall, several new community groups will form. A few of the new ones are listed below.
Purpose
Our Community Groups Ministry exists to help people grow deeper in relationship with God and each other to minister more effectively in the world. As such, community groups are a key element in our Faith Formation goal. A diverse number and style of groups make up our Community Group Ministry, and we see these groups as a vital ingredient in overall adult growth and spiritual formation.
Overview
Our Community Group Ministry at Second Baptist is made up of a variety of group types designed to meet a variety of participants’ needs toward spiritual growth and involvement.
Study Group – Spiritual growth through study, exploration and understanding of God’s word. Study groups can focus on the Bible, topical books, and new Christian concept studies.
Activity Group – Groups structured to share and explore a common activity. Activity-based community groups are a great way for people to get to know each other and move intentionally toward discussions and spiritual growth through a shared interest.
Support Group – Groups structured toward learning, encouragement, healing and growth of members who have gone through or are going through a common experience or crisis.
Covenant Group – Long-term support systems, high-commitment groups. The purpose of the Covenant Group is to provide an environment where members of 2BC can grow to know God as they fellowship, equip one another, and reach out to those who need Jesus Christ in the community and world. Covenant groups commit themselves to one another for the benefit of their mutual spiritual growth by means of a covenant—a serious commitment or promise between people and before God.
