Leader Guide

The longing for community is rooted in God.
The Trinity is a relational being.
And we were created in his image.
How does being created in God's image provide the foundation for community? How did the Fall destroy community? How does redemption in Christ empower community to be renewed? How does community become a site of ongoing transformation? God, in His mercy, uses community to expose our sin and invite us to believe the gospel.
The gospel deeply transforms our attitudes, motivations, words, and actions.
Through this gospel-passionate study, we will explore the theme of community within the narrative of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration, establishing a biblical foundation for the gospel and community.
Insightful and resilient reading materials and activities will help us radically apply God's grace and love in our lives, and help us dream and live a "gospel-centered community."
