I am GP - Groups

Apr 18, 2021    Paul Johnson

We were reminded that this place, GatheringPoint, happens because of you!  GP isn’t really just a place you go, it’s you.  And when two or more of you are gathered in Jesus’ name, God shows up.  You are strengthened by relationships, you are nurtured by serving and giving of yourself, so the sum total of you is more than what you accumulate, but who you are. 

Group life is the spiritual formation model we have adopted here at GP. You know this because you’re a part of a community group. Groups aren’t about a style; they are about how people mature in their faith—how we make disciples (followers of Jesus). Many people are looking for a program or series of classes. We have rejected a classroom approach from the beginning. Classes make smart believers; they don’t make mature believers.

At GP we often share the phrase “we learn in rows and grow in circles” and “you need to connect relationally in order to grow spiritually.”

We have significant privileges by being a part of something bigger than ourselves, the Church. We have a fellowship together that allows us personal access to God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that allows us to grow in our faith, overcome doubts, fears, and questions.

Thanks for being a part of a community group where you can ask questions, challenge one another, encourage one another, and grow spiritually together.

YOU ARE GP!
