Acts 2:42-47 is the vision for Fully Alive as a church and the Community Ministry is a key avenue through which that vision is shared. The Community Ministry exists to provide a variety of ways for people coming to Fully Alive to get to know one another, establish friendships and build biblically functioning community. That happens informally (loose community) through various social events and informal gatherings or, in more structured ways (formal community), via community or small groups, bible studies, support groups, etc.

Loose Community
We believe people are not only looking for spiritual answers but for real friendships and authentic relationships. At Fully Alive, we sponsor, encourage or make available different ways for those friendships to develop. Here are a few examples of things we have done as a church or in smaller groups.

Our desire is that people, as they experience loose community, will be compelled to explore the most important inspiration from which our church is driven to build these loving relationships. That inspiration is a very personal and real relationship with God made possible as devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Formal Community
We believe God desires Christians to "do life" together, to study the Bible together, to experience His love together and to share that deepening relationship with Jesus with one another. That happens through several avenues.

Of the above, Community Groups are at the core of our church. They are designed around smaller numbers of people (from three to ten) getting together on a regular basis to study the Bible, build closer friendships and share life experiences together as followers of Christ. Some groups are started because of similar life situations (young adults, single moms, couples, etc.). Others may be extensions of friendships formed from attending Sunday services, Tuesday worship or other instructional classes offered at Fully Alive.

On the left you will find links to our current groups with a brief description . We encourage you to eMail the contacts listed and ask questions about their groups. Feel free to sit in on a few meetings before committing to regular attendance. You may even choose to visit or meet with several different groups or individual members. It is important that you feel welcomed and comfortable and vice versa. Also, new groups get started as the need arises. If you have a particular interest, please let us know.

If you have any more questions, would like to get involved with a community group or are interested in leading a group, please contact Lisa Frerichs , Community Administrator.
