Because we have been made apart of the FAMLY OF CHRIST — we GATHER together around the gospel outside of our Sunday morning worship service to grow in relationship with one another.

Because we have been made Disciples of Jesus Christ — we GROW together in the gospel, by not only hearing, but applying the word of God to our daily lives, and holding one another accountable in our obedience.

Because we have been made Servants of Jesus Christ — we GIVE in response to the gospel by offering ourselves (time, gifts, and money) to serve one another, our broader church family, and community in humble acts of service to the glory of God and for the good of the world.

Because we have been made Spirit Filled Missionaries of Jesus Christ — we GO from our gatherings to share the gospel and make disciples who make disciples — praying and actively seeking to have gospel conversations with those God has placed in our lives.

We listen and speak in dependence upon the Holy Spirit to open hearts as we share the hope of the gospel with gentleness and respect.

Our desire is for our GC’s to remain together year by year with the long term vision of multiplication for more disciples of Jesus Christ to be made and formed. Multiplication will be pursued with wisdom and based on each unique Gospel Community.

GC’s are generally made up of 8-12 adults with children always welcome.

Our bi weekly gatherings generally include four main spiritual disciplines:

1) discussion and application of the preached word of God

2) prayer

3) fellowship

All Gospel community members will be encouraged to identify one person they will be praying for and intentionally seeking to have gospel conversations with.

Gospel communities will also prayerfully identify ways they can serve one another, the greater body of Calvary, and/or the Muskoka community in the Fall and Winter.

Some GCs regularly share a meal, but for those GCs who do not they will plan to have at least one meal together in the Fall and one in the Winter.

Our gospel communities will have structured gatherings every two weeks from the last week of September to November (5 weeks) and January to early march (5 weeks).

All gospel community members will be encouraged to live on mission together outside of the structured gatherings by inviting fellow GC members into your life
ie.) going to the park or beach, having a meal together, meeting with individual members for coffee, doing an outreach etc.

Structured GC gatherings are generally between 1.5-2 Hrs. Some GC’s regularly eat a meal together and may have longer meeting times.

We hope that as you experience being apart of a gospel community you will only want to more time together to grow as a family of missionary servants.
