Groups Ministry

“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality” Romans 12:9-13

Find a Group

At King’s Cross Church we know that we are “Renewed as Community.” Life is hard, and it is even harder when we do it alone. Groups are a great way to find community, connect with friends, and explore what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Get connected, join a group! Scroll on to learn about why and how King’s Cross does groups ministry.

Discipleship happens at the intersection of relationship and partnership with Jesus

Spiritual Formation is a community project

We don’t go to a gas station to buy jewelry, that is not the right thing to do in that space. Different spaces are intended for different purposes. We prioritize three spaces where spiritual formation can happen within community: Sunday Gatherings, Community Groups, and Discipleship Groups. Each space creates a different environment to aid in our discipleship. As we engage in these different spaces we give ourselves to a 3,2,1 Rhythm for Formation.

3, 2, 1 Rhythm

  • We know that life happens—kids get sick, we go out of town, but we strive to gather with the Church for Sunday worship at least 3 times a month. As we gather together as community, sing the gospel over one another, confess our sins, sit under the teaching of God’s word, and receive communion the Holy Spirit is supernaturally at work within us, conforming us to the image of Christ.

  • Discipleship Groups are an intentional intimate space for us to do the hard work of undoing cultural formation and giving ourselves to spiritual formation. Discipleship Groups are micro groups of 2-5 same-sexed people. In these group we open up our lives and practice spiritual habits (prayer, bible study, etc.), confess sin, and remind ourselves of our identity in Christ. This is the perfect space to safely grow our relationship with Jesus.

  • Community groups are safe place for us to do life together and into invite outsiders in. Community Groups are medium sized mixed-gendered multi-generational groups in which we share a meal, pray, and reach out. Community Groups provide a framework around partnering with Jesus in his Kingdom work. As we pray for our community, and we ask God to reveal how we can engage with it in order to share Jesus with others. Then, we do it.

As we give ourselves to these monthly rhythms our affections for Christ will deepen our partnership with him will increase and we will slowly come into greater conformation of the Image of God.
