Gospel Communities
At Calvary Chapel Spring Valley, we want our Gospel Communities to compliment our Sunday morning worship services and provide a more intimate setting for people to further study the weekly teaching. The format of Gospel Communities is very simple. We follow the Acts 2:42 model:
- Develop solid biblical friendships
- Spend time in the Word (discussion and application of the teaching from the
Sunday morning services) - Prayer (to minister to one another at the end of the evening, or spontaneously as the need arises)
Our groups meet weekly for approximately two hours. They are simple, effective and easy to duplicate. There are many names to describe this type of Gospel Community ministry (cell groups, house church, life group, etc), but they are essentially where people are able to grow in their faith in a small group setting. Gospel Communities are also a place where people are able to develop friendships with brothers and sisters in the Lord, pray and be prayed for, encourage each other and be encouraged. Here at Calvary Chapel Spring Valley, we call these groups Gospel Communities.
Life can be extremely difficult and draining. We were never meant to "do life" alone, we were designed to walk with each other, grow with one another and to glorify God together. Everyone needs the support and encouragement of other people. Everyone needs community!
We encourage everyone who considers Calvary Chapel Spring Valley their home church to regularly attend a Gospel Community.
Blessings,
Pastor Mike
