What are Missional Apprenticeship Communities?

Watch this interview between Pastor Zach and Brennen Sullivan produced by Lighthouse TV.

Missional

Proclaim the kingship of Jesus over all things by going to the lost (Matthew 28:19) and by being witnesses where God has placed us (Acts 1:8).

Apprenticeship

Apprenticing ourselves to Jesus in order to become like Jesus and do what Jesus did (Mark 8:34). With Jesus not physically present on earth, this happens by apprenticing ourselves to followers of Jesus and by making apprentices (2 Timothy 2:1-2).

Community

Both of these things take place in a deep, loving community where Jesus is King (Acts 2:42-47).

At Every Gathering…

God hears from us

Our time of prayer invites participation. Every attender is given time to speak their words of adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and requests to God. We frequently sing praises to God and lift up his name in song.
We hear from God

At each gathering we partake in communion to remember what Jesus has done for us. We study scripture and ask God to guide us into the life of Jesus.
We hear from each other

At every gathering we set aside time to pray for one another and spend much time in fellowship, sharing a meal and celebrating the life we have in Jesus.

1st and 3rd Sundays

Home gatherings are the foundation of our Missional Apprenticeship Community. We gather in homes to apprentice one another to follow Jesus’ Mission together.

At a home gathering we come together in a living room. Members share what God has been doing in their life. We pray for one another, study God’s word together, and often eat together.

Because Home Gatherings meet in the leader’s homes we often ask for people who are not yet friends to come to a worship gathering first so we can get to know you.

2nd, 4th, and 5th Sundays

Our worship gathering is like a reunion. We come together as one large family to remind ourselves of God’s story, celebrate what God is doing, and fellowship together.

Our Worship Gatherings are different from conventional worship gatherings because there is no stage. Everyone has a gift to give and a role to play as we pray together, take communion, sing, and hear from God’s Word.
