Community Team Expectations

The Community Teams’ purpose is to function as a healthy Christian community growing in Christ-likeness through Discipleship, Care, and Mission:

• Discipleship: Studying God’s Word in order to become self-feeding in Christ.
• Care: Praying for one another and the non-christian people around us in order to see people know and grow in Christ.
• Mission: Reaching out in practical ways to be able to speak the Gospel to all people.

The following expectations are meant to clearly identify the commitment involved in joining this community. Please consider these expectations prayerfully before committing yourself to a team:
 

• A desire to grow in your private life with the Lord
• Recognition of Scripture as the supreme authority governing all our discussions/activities
• Attending every team meeting unless prevented by illness, travel, or circumstances outside your control
• A commitment to be on time
• To be prepared each week by working through the study questions in advance of the team meeting
• Sensitivity to the needs and feelings of other team members, respecting others whose opinions differ from mine
• To keep confidential personal things shared within the community
• To participate in the mission expression of the team
