WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE. . .
The Five Circles of Commitment
At the center of our church or the core of our church, are the people who lead the different lay ministries of the church. They are the leaders. They are the ministers. If you're a member of our church, serving in a place of leadership, we call you a part of the CORE.
The way you get into the Core is you take three classes: 101, 201, 301. When you finish 301 we do an interview with you. We help you find your SHAPE for ministry and you become a part of the core.
The next group out is a little bit bigger group. We call that group the Committed. These are the people who have taken Class 201 -- the people in the church who are committed to growing in their Christian faith. They've been through Class 101 and Class 201.
The next group out is a little bit bigger group. That's the actual members of the church. They're the people who have taken Class 101. They're committed to membership. We call that group the Congregation.
The next group out are those who are committed to attendance. That's the group that shows up on Sunday morning. We call that the Crowd.
The outer circle is what we call the Community. The Community is everybody within driving distance of our church that we want to reach for Jesus Christ. We want them to come to know Christ.
