Journey Life Groups
 These small groups are intentional about helping people live out their faith with others in community—growing in faith together through discussion oriented scripture teaching as well as serving together in the local community. Many of these community life groups highlight several rhythms or practices: Common meal, service, community (friendship), learning, play, communion, and rest. Most of the groups content relates to the content of the teaching at 'The Gathering"-the weekly worship gathering.
 
Children and Life Groups: (A holisitc faith formation approach)
The children have a seperate time of learning from the adults, however, the content is the same so that formation can continue in the home. The adults gather with the children for the meal, opening scripture reading and the closing time. They remain seperate for the learning segment.
