Community Groups

What is a community group?
Community groups are small gatherings of people (Christian and non) that meet regularly for friendship, accountability, study and prayer, laughter, and occasionally tears. Community groups are an essential expression of the mission of Damascus Road. They’re a place where we learn more about each other and live life together. Each community group is unique, shaped by the people who attend. You can expect a gathering that may involve food, conversation, prayer, or discussion. Although each community group has a different theme, once a semester all groups study the same thing for a few weeks. At the heart of each community group is the desire to see an authentic community marked by love for Jesus and one another.

Why should I join a community group?
We believe that we are made for community and friendship. And when we are not living in community we suffer because life in this world is too complex and tempting to journey alone. Therefore, community groups are a place where we can live in relationship with one another through the ups and downs of life. The easiest way to get connected is on Sunday by just checking the “I’m interested in a ______ community group” box on an info card.  Or you can also click on any group leader below and shoot them an email.
