what are the 3G teams all about?

3G Teams are about bringing our Vision to life:
  • Living the Gospel Life together as we
  • Glorify God in whole-life worship
  • Grow as disciples by word and Spirit, and
  • Glow with Christ's love in our neighborhoods.
Thus, 3Gs: Glorify, Grow, and Glow. These are the essence of who we are as a church: worshippers, disciples, and missionaries. It's who we are. It's what we do. It's what we're going for.

So the Leadership Team has decided to experiment with structuring our community around the Vision of our community. And so we're going to try this: 3G Teams. There are actually 4 teams: Glorify, Grow, Glow, and Together.
  • The Glorify Team helps bring a sermon series/worship theme to life through Sunday morning worship services and other special worship experiences. \
  • The Grow Team helps the congregation go deeper in faith both in knowledge and practice. 
  • The Glow Team helps the congregation to move outward into the world in mission. 
  • The Together Team helps facilitate connection and mutual care within the congregation. 
All the groups meet together before each season. The theme for the coming season will be presented and groups can break out and start brainstorming or planning. Here's the key: there are no "musts" or "job descriptions." These teams use THEIR gifts and THEIR passions to bring to life our vision. These are teams of the people, by the people, and for the people, if you will. So that the ministry of our church isn't something being dictated from above, but a living reality born out of the imaginations and creativity of the community.

Our first 3G Team Session is this Sunday, October 9th after worship. We hope you will come and check it out!
