4:13 Self-Care Go Community About: Throughout our community, there are many people who have become disconnected from their lives and families because of the negative impacts of conditions such as grief, depression, anger, and anxiety. Our Go Community seeks to disciple people and address these needs by helping members make life rebuilding connections through our weekly engagements. If you know of anyone in our community that needs to make meaningful self-help life changes, please have them join us! Our Next Event: The Self-Help Go Community meets in an open door format every Tuesday at 7pm in Room 206 in the upper level of the church.

No. With an emphasis on serving, it may appear that Go Communities function primarily as service groups. Serving together is one of many things a Spirit lead family of Christians does. The serving component provides a core purpose and solidarity to a group. On top of that, serving is closely tied to making disciples but plays out in various ways, depending on the group. For some groups, they serve the very same people they are trying to reach with the Gospel and bring into discipling relationships. An example of this would be a group made up of single mothers who seek to serve single mothers in their community. The ultimate goal is to share the Gospel with them and bring them into discipling relationships within the Go Community. For other groups, the people they serve are not the same people they are seeking to disciple. An example of this would be a family oriented Go Community that serves at a local food pantry together. Although they are serving the least of these at the food pantry, their mission is ultimately to disciple the other young families they are serving along side. The short-hand for this is what we call the “WHO” and the “WHAT”. The “WHO” refers to a specific people a group is trying to reach with the Gospel and bring into long-term, life-on-life discipling relationships. The “WHAT” refers to specific service-oriented activities the group engages in together. For some groups, the “WHO” and the “WHAT” are one in the same. » Find out more answers on our Go Community FAQ Page DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA FOR A NEW GROUP?
