Gospel Communities
Thursday Nights | 6:30pm
We’ve found that if we’re going to faithfully live out our values together, Sunday gatherings aren’t enough. Following Jesus, living as family, and being intentional in our city is a 24/7, 365 journey. Gospel Communities are the primary way this happens. They help us live out what we declare on Sunday. In other words, Gospel Communities at Sojourn create a space for people to….
Know Jesus
Be Family
Live on Mission
WHAT ARE GOSPEL COMMUNITIES?
Gospel Communities are a space where we gather around tables to live out our core values. We typically share a meal together, celebrate stories, bear one another's burdens, pray for one another, and serve our city together. In essence, this is what Gospel Communities at Sojourn are all about.
HOW DO GOSPEL COMMUNITIES WORK?
Each Gospel Community practices four rhythms together:
We gather as a Community weekly in members homes to live out our core values.
We study Jesus at our Tables — Tables are a place to deepen our understanding of Jesus, remind each other of our identity, connect as friends, and pray together. These are smaller Groups of 3-4 people of the same gender who meet regularly throughout the region. Their purpose is to grow deeper in relationship with God and one another.
We host Dinner Parties with our friends and family — Dinner Parties are a place to spend time together making memories and building relationships. Dinner Parties can look many different ways, but always involve good food and drink. If you have non-believing friends, this is a great place to invite them to explore Christian community.
We live on purpose For our City — For our City is a rhythm intended to help us commit to some form of mission together. The mission of God is to reunite all things that have been broken because of sin. Jesus is in the business of making all things new through his life, death, and resurrection. We join him in this reconciling work as his ambassadors of hope. This too can look a myriad of ways — adopting an under-resourced school, serving at a non-profit, throwing a neighborhood block party etc.
We are relaunching our Gospel Community in the heart of Concordia Neighborhood and Alberta Arts District tonight and want to invite you to join us! For more information and location please send an email to info@sojournpdx.org.
