Doing life together.
Co-ops are for everyone, everywhere.
It’s gathering virtually and/or in-person with others wherever we live to grow with God, have meaningful conversation, enjoy fellowship and laughter, and to reach out and serve our respective neighborhoods and communities.
Co-ops are re-imagining spaces for face-to-face connection that cultivate shared ownership and aren’t limited to church buildings and geography. It creates an inviting and inclusive place — one that’s accessible to everyone, no matter who you are, what you believe, where you come from, or who you know.
Co-ops are about encountering God in community, and learning to be the church right where you are!
How Co-ops work?
No matter where you are at in your spiritual journey, Co-ops are all about taking ownership of your own discipleship and spiritual growth in the context of Christian community. While we believe there’s isn’t one specific cookie-cutter approach to doing life together as a Co-op, the following are two most common and primary ways that Co-ops happen:
THE “MIDWEEK” CO-OP
Midweek Co-ops gather either in-person and/or virtually online during the week for a time of fellowship, sharing, encouragement and prayer. Midweek Co-ops will often spend time reflecting on Sunday sermons together or engaging in some form of Bible study or topical discussion. In-person Midweek Co-op gatherings meet in homes, coffee shops, restaurants or parks and follow the rhythm of the larger church, which involves leading/participating in Love Your Neighbor Sunday activities every fourth Sunday of the month.
THE “SUNDAY” CO-OP
Sunday Co-ops (aka Co-op 2.0) gather in-person and/or virtually online around our Sunday online worship experience. Sunday Co-ops will watch our service live stream together, and then share and reflect around the sermon afterwards, often over a meal. In-person Sunday Co-ops generally meet in homes and follow the rhythm of the larger church, which involves leading/participating in Love Your Neighbor Sunday activities every fourth Sunday of the month.
