Starter Groups

Starter Groups are a three-week experience from Sunday, April 27-May 11, where you will get to connect with others longing for community and form a Community Group together that launches after the 3rd week! In addition to that, we will share helpful information about the vision and structure of our groups to help you determine if this is the best next step for you.  

Community Groups

Community Groups are the lifeblood of Redeemer. Our mission to see our city and our world changed by the gospel begins with CGs. 

Community Groups are diverse, small groups of people that meet weekly in homes around the city. The groups travel through three phases: 1) getting to know, love, and trust each other; 2) working through sermon discussion, gospel-in-life application, prayer, and accountability; 3) moving the gospel outside the group to the community and world around them.

FIGHT CLUBS AT REDEEMER

What are Fight Clubs?

Fight Clubs are small groups (2-4 people) that meet weekly to pray together, discuss Scripture, fight to believe the gospel, and fight against sin in a deep community in order to become more like Jesus and enjoy God in all of life.

Discussion Topics

Fight Clubs can work through entire books of the Bible or specific topics such as:
  • Men/Women
  • Parenting
  • Evangelism
  • Discipleship
  • Grief/Suffering

How Do Fight Clubs Work? 

Your Fight Club will select a part of the Bible to focus on. Before gathering together, each member will prayerfully read the passage to DISCOVER God’s truth. Then, the group will gather to DISCUSS the passage and apply God’s truth to all of life.

These groups begin with the members discussing the Word and end with the members applying the gospel and sharing life together. As learn the Bible together, grow in our understanding of the Gospel, and work to obey what we learn, we will inevitably enjoy God more, look more like Jesus, and be better equipped to fight sin and live life as God designed.

FIGHT CLUB FAQs

Both! Fight Clubs are relationships that help you learn/study the Bible, and give you people to help process what you’re learning and how to live it out. You’ll also ask each other intentional questions to push each member of the group to seek God and live a holy life. 

It can be either! You can meet with new believers to help them learn how to study the Bible and live out their faith, or you can meet with more seasoned believers to encourage each other and continue growing.

It depends on the goal you set as a group! Some groups want to meet for a specific amount of time, and then take what they learn and share it with others. Some groups desire to develop deeper relationships over time. Just make sure everyone in your group knows the goal!

Fight Clubs should be 3-4 people of the same gender. Ideally, these would be people you have an established a friendship with – maybe they’re someone in your Community Group, someone you serve with on Sundays, or just a friend! Having an established relationship with the people in your group will make it feel more natural to have conversations about your spiritual life, but if you don’t have someone like that in your life already, we’re happy to help you find a Fight Club to plug into!

Not necessarily. We believe this model is beneficial for all believers to grow in their faith and obedience to Jesus. We want to use it to grow the people in our church, but if you are close with someone who attends another church, go for it.

Your Community Group might be a great place to start as you look for people to be in a Fight Club, but it’s not the only option! Again, it depends on the goal of your group – to multiply or develop deeper relationships.

While everyone is going to benefit from being in a Fight Club, it may be helpful to designate one person as the organizer of the group – the person who will make sure you meet together regularly, and who can help guide the conversations.
