Community Gathering
In addition to worship services on Sunday morning, we offer a unique way to help you to get to know others at church. We call that way Community. From 9:00 – 10:15 a.m. on Sundays, perhaps while your children are in Nursery or Sunday School classes, you can participate in Community in the Fellowship Hall, on the lower level of our new building addition. Community helps you connect with other people from Northwest on a personal level, make new friends, and have a place to discuss and apply God’s Word. Community feels informal and friendly. Coffee and other refreshments are served.
The aim of Community is to help you grow as a follower of Jesus Christ by welcoming you into a middle-sized group of 25 to 50 people that is larger than in in-home small group (LIFE Group) but smaller than a worship service. In Community a sense of belonging and knowing replaces the feeling of being isolated and alone. Interesting, practical topics are taught and discussed with a goal of seeing the Bible have an impact on our everyday lives.
