Neighborhood Groups and Triads

Neighborhood Groups are weekly gatherings where we live out the reality of being a missional family by:

• Walking together in spiritual companionship

• Engaging our true story in the Word of God, and

• Praying together as Jesus taught.

Through these practices we:

• Remember and retell the gospel story as the world's true story and place we find fulness of life, true identity, meaning and purpose, and where we encounter the risen King!

• Recognize the cultural stories that seek to conform us to be actors in a different story

• Repent of where we have erred, and

• Reorient our lives to Jesus, our true King.

As a result of which, we are renewed by the Spirit as children of God and as Christ's ambassadors to the world.

A Triad is a small group, usually three people, committed to meeting weekly to grow as disciples of Jesus through prayer, transparency, and study of the Scriptures. Triads are a helpful space to apply the gospel to our lives to cultivate Christian character and maturity. Triads are generally, but not always, formed between people within Neighborhood Groups. Triads form when one person asks a couple other people to start a triad with them!

The five basic practices of Triads are:

1. Transparency

2. Reading Scripture

3. Intercession

4. Accountability

5. Duplication

Applications are collected in May-June every year for a September start.
