THE VISION
Church is not a show.
The Church is a community of people who are committed to each other, the Lordship of Jesus and the Mission of Jesus.
In other words- it's not something you spectate- it's something you become.
A micro church makes room for the kind of friendship that’s hard to build in a large room full of people: being known, sharing what’s really going on, and having friends who help you put Jesus’ words into practice.
We also call these missional communities because our life together turns outward. We ask where Jesus is at work around us and what we can do together to love our neighbors well.
PRACTICING WHAT WE PREACH
Saying yes to Jesus, together.
FRIENDSHIP
We carry one another's burdens
We eat together, make time to listen, celebrate good news, and suffer together as well.
KINGDOM MISSION
We love the outsider.
We pay attention to the needs of our neighbors and find practical ways to serve them together and participate in the ministry of Jesus.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH
As we make room for God, commit to one another, and join in Jesus’ work, we become more like him.
AROUND THE TABLE
What an evening might look like
Every group has their own rhythm. Here's one way the pieces might fit together.
01
Share a meal.
Pull up a chair and be known.
02
Open Scripture.
Encourage each other with God's word.
03
Take one step together.
Meet a need in the community in Jesus name.
A VINEYARD VALUE
Everybody gets to play.
God has wired you to know and glorify Him in all of life. When we begin to leverage our gifting for his Glory we come alive- and we all have something to give; hospitality, kindness, generosity, skills and talents. The life of the Microchurch is something we all sustain by giving back what God has given us.
