Because life is so much better in community.

At The People Church, we connect weekly in small groups that function by seasons.  Together as teams we take action towards five Ways for Living:  Community Building; Everyone Contributing; Learning to Love; Learning to Grow and Seeing New Life by sowing CIA (Care-In-Action) into the communities around us.  Operating by seasons allows us to focus on our Ways for Living, one step at a time, enabling people to lead or belong, one season at a time…

2C’s Season: From September to November

During our 2C’s (Community and Contribution) season, our team focus is building and strengthening relationships by worshipping, learning and starting to reach outwards together. For the teams that have an established mission we just do all this around that mission.

Foundations Season: From January to March

We focus on building solid biblical foundations into our lives.  For the first half of this season we gather centrally at the church on a weeknight to focus on specific areas of study.  If you like desserts and discussion then you’ll love this season!  Then, given that we don’t ever want to be too far away from the intimacy of our individual teams, we return to our smaller settings to continue our foundations focus.

CIA Season: From April to June

This is our main work season and it’s great fun!  We are convinced that our individual interests, skills and natural giftings are given not just for us, but for the benefit of others.  So we take those interests, skills and anything that we might like to try presenting to others and we turn them into general interest courses to impact each other and the communities around us.  These are our CIA: Care-In-Action groups and we advertise them into the community around us.

Rest Season: From July to August

It’s simple, we rest.  The majority of our teams close for the summer.
