Vision of Community Groups

To multiply disciples of Jesus in the context of Gospel-Centered community and mission.
(Matthew 28:18-20)

Community - As C.G.  members gather together to eat, pray, worship, read Scripture, encourage one another, and serve others, they will grow as disciples of Jesus and discover the joy of taking part in a shared mission (Acts 2:42-47)

Mission - As Community Groups are intentional about serving neighborhoods, schools, and those in need, the people in our city will witness a community that lives out the Gospel in tangible ways (Matthew 5:14-16)

Who can belong to a Community Group?

Community Groups are the DNA of Northridge Church. Community Groups are communities that people can belong to before they believe. This means that Community Groups are a reflection of our entire church and are comprised of mature Christians, new Christians and non-Christians. Simply put, we want everyone to be in a Community Group because that is where both community and mission take place.

Core Strategies of a Community Group

The values that drive Community Groups are UP - IN - OUT. Because of God’s act of reaching DOWN to us in the Gospel, a Community Group responds with an UPWARD movement toward God, an INWARD movement toward each other, and an OUTWARD movement toward others to represent Christ to their unique missional context. These Core Values drive various Rhythms that allow the Spirit of God to transform members’ lives and create a mission-centered community.
