Community Groups

WHAT ARE COMMUNITYgroups? Community groups are small groups of believers previously known as “Home Fellowships.” They are small groups of believers who meet in homes scattered throughout the communities we live in.

THE VISION: COMMUNITYgroups fulfill our church mission: We each live and mingle in more then one community: Our homes, our neighborhoods, workplaces, clubs, groups, organizations, and our church. With each one of these communities there is opportunity as the body of Christ to WIN someone to Christ, DISCIPLE someone in Christ, and then SEND someone in Christ.

THE PURPOSE: COMMUNITYgroups: In a church the size of Calvary Aurora it is easy to get lost in the crowd, fall through the cracks, and slide out the back door. Therefore, people can come to church here and still miss the vital aspect of relationships. A community group is our strategic, biblical way of combating this problem. They offer a warm, inviting, loving, and caring environment with accountability, while closing the “cracks and back doors” of the church.

THE MODEL: Our model for our COMMUNITYgroups is taken from the book of Acts 2:46-47 NLT, “They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity - all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their group those who were being saved.”
