A small group focused church.
What does it mean to be a small-group focused church?
Bend Community Church will focus the vast majority of its resources in supporting the small group gathering. We call them Community Groups. They will meet every week usually on Sunday. They will function like a small church with a pastor and support staff. They will mostly meet in homes, but could also meet in a cafe, business, or even Phil's Trail parking lot... Wherever life happens, we will be starting community groups and doing church, sharing the gospel and making Christ-like disciples.
The Large Group gathering, or Corporate Worship Service, will take place about bi-monthly, with all the community groups coming together for a service that will include preaching and music. We will simply rent an existing church for this service.
