Community Groups return the week of February 23rd!

Community Groups

One night each week during the school year, community groups meet in homes for the purpose of connection and spiritual growth in a small group environment. 

 

At Alden Community Church, we are committed to helping people become increasingly devoted followers of Jesus Christ. It is the mission that drives everything we do as a church. The community group is an ideal place for this mission to be accomplished. Growing spiritually doesn't just happen when we know what Jesus says. It happens when we apply what he says and this happens best in the context of community. To grow spiritually, you have to be connected relationally.

Why Join a Community Group?
  • You will build spiritually enriching relationships.

  • You will be in an ideal environment for spiritual growth.

  • You will be challenged to put God’s truth into practice.

  • You will be regularly prayed for and cared for.

  • You will enjoy regular fellowship with other believers.
