A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
— John 13:34 (ESV)

Frequently Asked Questions

+  Who are Community Groups for?

At Desert Springs Church, Community Groups are for those that are members or are in the membership process. We believe this best enables groups to invest in deep relationships and express regular care for one another.

+  Why should I join a Community Group?

God did not intend for us to live life on our own, but to live in relationship and community with other Christians. Those relationships are where we grow, are cared for, encouraged, comforted, exhorted, and flesh out and deal with the issues of life. It is where Christ centered friendships are forged and deepened and where we challenge each other to live for the glory of God and not our own. It is where we talk about God's Word, ask questions, and are challenged to live and proclaim the gospel to those God brings into our lives.

+  Do I need to be member to join a Community Group?

We are really grateful that you are earnest about getting more connected at DSC. We would love for to enter the membership process by attending our next Membership Class and pursuing membership, where you will learn more about our theology, elders, history, partnership, and mission. If you have any questions, please reach out to our Discipleship Pastor, Alex Schroeder.

+  What size is a typical Community Group?

On average, they will range in size from 10-15 adults.

+  Are the different groups formed around age or demographic?

Not really. In fact, we want them to be diverse because the Bible shows that body of Christ benefits most from a diversity of ages, ethnicity, marital status, and social/economic status.

+  Are there different groups to choose from?

Yes. There are over 20 different groups that meet on various days throughout the city.

+  What should I expect if I join at Community Group?

Each CG varies in how they structure their meetings. However, you should expect each group to spend time in fellowship, discussion of the Bible, and prayer.
