They are embodiments of community in all of its giftedness, and all of its challenge. Being on a faith journey or even beginning a faith journey is enough. The most valuable resource you can bring to a community, which no one else can bring is yourself, with your own unique wisdom and experiences. A Small Christian Community can encourage and enable you to ground your life in the Christian story and to integrate faith with your everyday life. Communities meet on different days and at different times on a regular basis.
Most communities meet every other week on a day of their choice.
Others meet weekly or monthly. Communities have various emphases such as families with children, centering prayer, service to the poor, or other interests. There are youth and peer support communities. A community may include members of other faiths and be intergenerational. New communities continue to form.
