MISSIONAL COMMUNITIES

A Missional Community is a family of disciples called to make disciples.

Karis Missional Communities (MCs) are families of disciples making disciples. MCs meet regularly in the homes of church members to live out Acts 2:42-47. They devote time to God’s Word, to fellowship with one another, and to having a meal and being in prayer together. However, they don’t just meet once a week. They entwine their lives together, doing all they can to help one another grow as followers of Jesus. MC members encourage one another to share Christ with their city and world, making more disciples as Jesus commanded in Matthew 28:19.

MCs are more than a Bible study and more than a fellowship group (though they include all these things!), but are smaller sized gospel communities on mission within Karis. They form around a mission together seeking to live out certain gospel identities that turn into gospel rhythms. Our Missional Communities generally gather together on a consistent night of the week, but the goal is to live as family together. A typical month will include times in God’s word, but also evenings around a fire pit, service projects out in the community, lots of meals and parties, conversations in coffee shops, caring for each other’s needs, and more.

As we seek to care for the city in which God has placed us, a few of our MCs have joined together to form the Ridgeway Network. We long to see disciples made in the neighborhood in which our church gathers each week, so these MCs collaborate with the other MCs in the neighborhood to find ways to make a major impact for the Kingdom. Together, they do ministry that no individual group could accomplish on their own so that we can show our neighborhood who Jesus is by loving our neighbors and welcoming them into our family.

All of our members are a part of an MC, but they’re open to everyone! Click the button below to find an MC to visit. Feel free to message the leader before you visit, and when you’ve decided on a group to settle into, click “ask to join!”
