About meetup Churches for Social Communities
We are
1) story-formed people
We tell the story of Jesus and allow His life to lead us. Learn more at http://dailyjesusstory.com.
2) Missional Hermeneutic Communities
This is a fancy way of saying we interpret and apply scriptures together, and we see "mission" as an important key to unlocking the Bible.
3) Servant Leaders
Each group has a mission to (1) reach people in its social community and (2) champion a "with" cause of its choosing. Groups are permanently open to new members.
4) 100% Participatory
Church does not consist of spectators or sideliners. The church is a body with every member doing its important part.
5) Targeting Social Communities
In a fragmented culture, we believe social communities are our best shot to help people gather relationally to laugh, talk, and serve together. See the diagram below to learn more.
Jesus lived life in 3D.
Jesus rocked life in balance between relationship with His Father (UP), his friendship with His followers (IN), and His relationship with those around Him (OUT).
We think living this way is pretty important. Without all three in balance, our lives start to get wonky. So, each of our meetings have IN, UP, and OUT sections. And we have tools to help each person keep their lives rocking and rolling.
