soulcare faqs
What does a typical night look like? A typical night includes the following:
1, soulcare: a time for reflecting on the recent progress and regress we have made in following Christ. This is both a time of joy and confession as we seek to be aware of God’s grace, our need and the glory of walking with Jesus. 2, teaching: a time for allowing the Word to shape our souls in good directions. 3: prayer, a time for drenching everything in prayer as the people of God has always done. 4, yes, as expected: food.
Who should be interested in joining?
Not just anyone. And yet everyone! If you want to be a part of a community that really experiences community, then you want in. But be careful, the community we all desperately want is also the community we sometimes run from. So if you are wanting a place to know and be known, serve and be served, love and be loved, and allow the gospel to shape everything about your life, and if you are willing to make a commitment to jump in for a year together, then one of these soulcare communities may be for you.
What is the level of commitment?
If you join a weekly group or a monthly group, we're asking that you be there either weekly or monthly…. and be real. That's it. It’s hard to build community with people who aren't present or who aren't real when they are present. It is a joy to build community when people are together, transparent and committed to one another for the long haul. No one gets voted off the island for missing a week... but we are asking you to consider what kind of commitment you can make - weekly or monthly - and stick with it as far as is possible.
What is the typical makeup?
Well, these groups are just getting up and running, but we are looking to group people who are geographically close to each other so no one has to drive across 3 towns to get to a soulcare community. So… groups are made of young and old, married and single, families with kids and college students, all together. It may be that someday we'd have some affinity groups (i.e. a college student group or something), but we love the idea of the groups being multi-aged, cross-generational, cross-cultural and populated by people in all stages of their walk with Jesus.
How can I join a group?
Look at the groups up on the board, find one that might work for you, and call the leader! Groups may be open or closed due to size, and don’t be surprised if the group is full to the brim already. If there is no space to join right now, we ask for your patience as we’ll be starting new groups as we move through the year.
