“Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.”
Ephesians 4:15–16 (ESV)
Community Groups exist to connect people in loving relationships that develop mature followers of Christ.
Community Groups are one of our primary methods of discipleship where people are shown what it means to truly renounce everything to follow Jesus (Luke 14:33). We gather together in Community Groups that meet around Northwest Arkansas with other members from Reformation Baptist to live life together and encourage one another to follow Christ. In CG we study the Bible together, love one another, pray for one another, serve the city, and participate in the mission of God for Northwest Arkansas at Reformation Baptist Church. If our Sunday gatherings are where we proclaim the gospel, then our small groups are where we work out the gospel in our lives. Community Groups allow us to practice a lifestyle of discipleship with one another and give us opportunities to practically apply the Word of God to our lives. Through CG, we grow in faithfulness to Jesus as we learn to truly repent of sin and walk in the newness of life with one another (Rom. 6:4).
Community Groups are for members of RBC. Church membership is the backbone of our groups because true fellowship and discipleship grow out of that shared commitment. If you’re new to RBC, we’d love for you to worship with us on Sunday and start the membership process, which is the first step toward joining a group.
