Mission Communities
“The Mission was the first place that we found a community to be a part of after moving to Chattanooga. We cannot imagine our lives without the friends, support, and community of this wonderful place. We’ve made life long friends, shared challenges, celebrated joys, and baptized our first child here.”
Mission Communities
Mission Communities are what we call our small and mid-sized groups here at the Mission, and they take various forms. MCs are how we, as a church, continue to grow smaller even as we grow larger. We believe that we were designed for healthy, authentic, growing relationships with one another and with God. In moments of joy and difficulty, we are meant to experience life together. Though many Mission Communities meet weekly and often have components of discussion, prayer, and Bible study, others meet less frequency and are centered around an activity or prayer. A Mission Community can be anything from a meal group, to a crafting club or a businessmen's accountability group. There is a wide diversity of formats across our Mission Communities, but what holds true for all of them is that they are designed to be places that foster relational and spiritual growth.
