We dream of being a biblical community of small groups. We see a vibrant, reproductive network of small groups flourishing---where leaders are purposefully and systematically trained, coached, and apprenticed, groups are flexibly organized, curriculum is practical and biblical, and members are outward-focused and multiplication-minded. We envision becoming a church where small groups are the primary mode of ministry and where people taste real, vital, Acts 2 biblical community. We dream of being a church where nobody stands alone---where we each come to know and be known, admonish and be admonished, serve and be served, celebrate and be celebrated.
Our values for each T-Group: Truth-Meets-Life We value not so much marking our Bibles as having our Bibles mark us.  Our Spirit-driven desire is to interact over Scripture not to merely transfer information but to inspire transformation (James 1:22, 2 Timothy 3:16)      Togetherness (i.e., Community) We value actually being the Church and believe that together we will experience again the reality of an Acts 2 biblical community where life-to-the-full relationships flourish as the Kingdom of God is established with power (Acts 2:42-47)      Transformation (i.e., Life-change) We believe that individual, communal, and even global transformation occurs as---by the power of the Holy Spirit---we recognize our brokenness, accept God's healing life poured into us, and commit to taking that message of faith, hope, and love to a broken world (2 Corinthians 3:18, 4:7, 5:17; Romans 12:1-2)      Compassion (i.e., love-in-action) We believe, as the Body and the continued incarnation of  Christ, that following Christ always results in "love-in-action" or going to and being with those in need and outwardly expressing to them our deep, inward love for God and people (1 Corinthians 12:7a: Mark 6:34, 12:30-31; Luke 6:36, 7:13)      Outreach We believe that since we are "blessed to be a blessing" we should be aware of and move toward others who need Christ and invite them to experience real community in Him (John 17:18, 20:21).  The (super)natural result of this focus is growth and multiplication of our groups (Acts 2:42-47)      Christ-centered We believe that experiencing Christ, being conformed to His image, and pointing others to Him happens best in community (Acts 4:13; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 3:20-21; Philippians 3:10; Colossians 1:29; 1 Peter 4:11)      Prayer We value living in constant conversation with God and see lifestyle prayer as a holy dialogue that transforms us (Philippians 4:6-7; I Thessalonians 5:17)
