Some exciting changes are afoot here at the church! The consistory & staff received input from you on the church-wide survey, we prayed a bunch & we hear God’s leading us in this next chapter of our journey as a church community. It’s exciting and it requires us to TRUST God in the process.
WHY we are making changes?
*To give people back time to do discipleship at home.
*To foster more meaningful and deeper relationships through Sunday mornings and K-Groups.
*To invite, challenge & resource parents to be their kid's biggest influencers.
*To continually foster community through Sunday mornings and K-Groups.
*To be more efficient and effective with our limited time.
WHAT are the specific changes?
*Weekly communion on Sunday mornings.
*No weekly Wed. evening programming (Everything we do on Wednesday evenings will now be on Sunday mornings).
*Quarterly church-wide gatherings on Wed. nights. Next one is in December.
*We will be strengthening & Re-launching K-Groups in January.
*ONE 9am-Noon Sunday morning worship experience: One 9a Worship Service. 1015a Coffee Corner. 11a-Noon Discipleship Classes.
***If anyone has any questions, contact elders, deacons or staff.

“K” in K-Groups stands for “Koinonia.” A Greek word that means a “deep sense of fellowship.” Our K-Groups are intended to be a place to welcome new people & to build lasting friendships. They are not solely a bible study, but a place where people find authentic community. They regularly meet with 5-30-ish people, share a meal, coffee, or something, and they engage weekly biblical content. Summed up: they SHARE time, meals & Jesus.
We will be re-launching our K-Groups in January. Right now, we need leaders to step up in two areas:
K-Group HOSTS. Those who like to organize where the group meets. A tasks-oriented person.
K-Group FACILITATORS. Those who like to direct discussion & group dynamics. A people-oriented person.
We will have two training days prior to our re-launch in January, in order to help both hosts & facilitators be ready to lead their K-Groups. Sat. Oct. 12th. 9a-Noon & Sat. Nov. 16th. 9a-Noon. Sign up at the service corner or contact Pastor Jim@BismarckCC.org for more info.
