Hey Adventure! I'm beyond excited for our church to be launching our Community Groups. This is something I've personally been praying about for over 5 months and it's awesome to see several families step up to hosting our first 4 groups!
As a pastor of Adventure, please allow me to share 7 quick reasons why you should commit to a Community Group.
1. You can influence from a distance but can only make an impact when you're up close and personal.
Pastor Mike and I can influence you on Sunday mornings through a message but you're going to make life-changing decisions that only come from long-lasting relationships. Joining a Community Group will allow others to impact you personally and relationally that Pastor Mike and I can't do from a pulpit on Sundays.
2. You can not only create a wave but also ride it!
These Community Groups are new and they will change the relational make-up of our church. This allows you to be a part of something fresh and dynamic from the start and years from now, you'll reap the rewards of paving the way for the multitudes who will join us.
3. Adventure is a church for real people, not robots.
You are a real person with real stories, real experiences, real issues. And guess what? You're not alone. Each of us have a life full of dreams, interests, goals and personalities and we were created to share them with one another through community.
4. Community Groups will give us one more way to Go Wide.
Are you constantly getting rejected when inviting someone to church? There are neighbors, co-workers and friends who will be 100 times more open to checking out a Community Group before checking out a church. This gives you and your group the opportunity to show them love, acceptance, relationships, fun and most importantly, a unity that only comes through Jesus Christ without them even stepping foot in our church.
5. Community Groups will help you be obedient to the Bible.
Missions and Fellowship are what truly define a church as a New Testament church. Coming together and sharing life together is one of the purest ways Christians can demonstrate Christ's love to one another. Not to mention doing missions through Reason #4.
6. Community Groups will give us one more way to Go Deep.
When you combine #4 and #5 and do them correctly, depth will occur. You'll have deeper relationships, deeper fellowship, deeper unity, deeper vision, deeper purpose and a deeper understanding of who God is and His desire for His Church. And I know you want that because deep down inside, you've either told us or wanted to tell us that you want to go deeper. And the good news is you don't need to tell us because we already know. The Bible says so. God created us for depth.

I'll let you decide the 7th reason why you should join a Community Group. After all, it's your group.
So there you have it! 7 Reasons why should join one of our Community Groups. What are you waiting for? People are waiting on you to share your life with theirs!!!
