Community Groups

Community Groups give opportunities for regularly gathering, encouraging one another, praying together, and demonstrating the love we’ve received from Jesus Christ. Each group meets biweekly to share a meal and discuss the sermon. If you're interested in learning more or need help choosing a group, contact Pastor Janas.

Writing Your Faith Story

To foster discipleship within our Community Groups, we encourage sharing a Faith Story using the guidelines provided by Ascending Leaders. This short testimony focuses on tracing what the Lord has done in your life through four stages of discipleship:

  • First Stage: To Faith in Jesus

  • Second Stage: Growing in Faith in Jesus, Moving Toward Strong Intimacy With Him

  • Third Stage: Growing from Intimacy to a Heart of Sacrifice

  • Fourth Stage: Growing to Fuller Obedience, Community, Evangelism and Mission


To help with writing your own faith story, you can download this worksheet with guidelines and questions to help you think through your own journey.

FAQ

  • Yes, we understand that you may want to visit more than one community group before deciding on the best one for you. We do recommend that you visit a group more than once before making a decision. The hope is that a group of dissimilar people would gather around a perfect God, learn to love one another with Jesus as their Savior and their example, and be challenged to share that news with others. To that end, we encourage you to visit the group closest to your home.

  • Start with where you live. Attend the group closest to your geographic location. In joining a group that is close, you give yourself and those near your neighborhood greater opportunity to live life together. We want to demonstrate and declare the Gospel as a church body, not only as individual Christians. 


    However, regular group attendance is important and beneficial for community, so try to find a group that is convenient for you. If you need further guidance, contact janas@redeemersl.org.

  • Because regular group attendance is important and beneficial for community, we have found that with the typical family schedule, it is often difficult to participate fully in the life of more than one group at a time.

  • If you are already a member of a community group, talk to your group leader about your interest in co-leading your group or in starting a new group. If you are interested in starting a new group, please contact janas@redeemersl.org.

  • If you are interested in attending a community group, email Pastor Janas at janas@redeemersl.org.
