 MICRO-CHURCHES

Micro-Churches are small communities of Christ-followers (minimum of 3, maximum of 20) who have connected their lives together for the purpose of loving God, loving one another, and reaching others with the gospel. A micro-church is centered around the Person and Purpose of Jesus Christ and led by qualified leaders.  Each person is helped to be a true disciple of Christ in the 5 C’s: Christ, Community, Character, Calling, and Competency. All micro-churches are inter-connected with other micro-churches and part of a larger  congregation led by biblical elders.
