City Groups are intentional gatherings throughout the city, made up of people who are seeking to mature in Christ, with others.
We believe City Groups are a vital instrument in the life of the church because groups meet in neighborhoods all around Chattanooga to explore scripture…to serve at church and throughout the city…to create safe spaces for being known and knowing others…to pray for each other…and to have fun! As we follow Jesus in community, the Holy Spirit transforms us.
City Groups give the opportunity to get to know people beyond what is possible when we gather for worship on Sundays. They also have a different rhythm than what is offered in Bible studies. We seek to make space for questions and curiosity as we grow in understanding the Bible. And we strive to create a conducive environment for spiritual growth by sharing life, sharing the Word, and sharing in prayer.
Each group may look a little different, based on seasons in life, personalities, times for meeting, and individual and group needs. But each group will have rhythms that include time to get to know each other and have fun, time for prayer and exploring God’s Word, and opportunities to serve.
