We are about to launch 17 Growth Communities at Restoration. Here are eight reasons many in our Denver church would benefit from jumping into one.
1. You will grow. None of us grows alone. We all need others to encourage us, challenge us, hold us accountable and help us realize other people have the same questions and struggles that we do.
2. You are only committing for a few weeks. Our communities will only last 4-12 weeks. So if it is not working for you, you are not stuck making a long-term commitment.
3. You will connect with others. Good friends and in some cases life long friendships are formed in Growth Communities. At the very least you will have a lot more people to sit with when you come to a worship gathering.
4. You will be helping us turn our crowd into a community. Church is about people connecting to each other. We are only a few weeks old and most of us do not know each other. Our Growth Communities will help us feel like a church and not just a large group. We will all benefit from that.
5. You might realize you are a leader. Growth Communities are where leaders rise up. You might realize you are a leader and did not know it. Restoration will need lots of leaders in the future. Most of them will come out of our Growth Communities.
6. You will better understand God. God is relational. We experience God when we grow in relationships with other people who are seeking to know him.
7. You will learn more about your spiritual gifts. Smaller community settings are safe places for people to serve each other in various ways. You will find out how God has uniquely wired you to bless others.
8. You will have fun. Growth Communities are not just about sharing, serving and studying together. They are about eating, drinking, having fun together and laughing so hard your Coke comes through your nose.
