An Emerging (non) Vision Part 4

Sep 24, 2009 by Kevin

Continuing my series on the emerging (non)vision for the Heights. In case you missed them, here are parts One, Two, and Three.

OK, I’m going to just pretend it hasn’t been a month since my last blog post and invite you to do the same. Deal? OK.

God calls people to follow him, not in isolation, but by living and serving in community with other Christ followers.

At The Heights, we want to grow and cultivate a true community in Christ, where people authentically love one another, encourage one another, challenge one another, care for one another, provide for one another’s needs.

True community is not manufactured by participating in artificial “community-building” exercises or activities. Genuine community is developed as we serve alongside one another in the mission of our King.

At The Heights, we will cultivate community primarily through ChristCare small groups. Each ChristCare group participates in four activities:

Prayer and Worship
Community Building and Care
Biblical Equipping
Missional Service

ChristCare groups are led by trained, supervised group leaders, who help groups stay true to The Heights beliefs, mission, and values. They are a fantastic way to connect with other Christ followers who are learning to embrace Jesus’ mission and values.

ChristCare groups will begin forming in the early part of 2010.
