Very simply, we invite you to gather around three tables. Click through the slideshow below to find out more.

 

Friend’s Table? Some options:

 

Pathways [Large Group]

On occasion we offer larger group formation pathways, including a yearly catechism class & summer studies.

  • Interest-driven medium or large groups gathered for 4-8 week classes

  • Essentials:

    • Food + Catechesis (Spring)

    • Food + Summer Studies (Summer)

Life Group [10-20]

Life Groups are usually the best place to take the first steps into deeper community and formation.

  • Geographically organized groups of ~10-20 people who gather 2-4 times/month from Sept-May

  • Essentials

    • Food + Scripture + Prayer + Pastoral Support

table group [2-6]

Table Groups are for those seeking more intimate and intentional sharing of life in Christ together with a few friends.

  • Affinity-based and initmate gatherings of 6 or fewer people

  • May gather for set time (e.g. 4-week practice from Practicing the Way) or indefinitely

  • Essentials:

    • Food + deep spiritual friendship.

  • Table groups have no set formula or curriculum, but may choose to engage a practice from Practicing the Way or Relational Discipleship.

    • Relational Discipleship (RD) is a 10-week curriculum written by Advent’s founding pastor Rob Paris. It is a road designed to be traveled with a companion or two; a relational journey towards a more abundant life in Christ.

    • Practicing the Way is a curriculum for Christlikeness that some of our life groups and table groups engage.
