Connecting to Community
The purpose of Community Groups at Calvary Chapel is to build Christ-centered relationships by connecting people into life-changing community.
We want people to experience, as followers of Christ, Christ-centered relationships.
Maybe this is obvious to you as a person raised in the church. For many people - for those who've never experienced a Christian friendship - this is revolutionary way of living life.
Think about the relationships in your life; they're all based on something. Your relationships are centered on work or family or school. Every relationship has a starting point. We're talking about bringing people together for a Christ-centered relationship. We have a common-bond, a common interest, a common connection around the person of Jesus Christ. We want to build up Christ-centered relationships for those in our families and those in our fellowship.
Christ-centered relationships don't stand alone, we want to join them in life-changing communities.

Do you remember playing with Legos as a kid? You can't play with just one Lego. There's not much you can do with one Lego. But, when you have a bunch of Legos and start snapping them together, you can build some really cool things.
People are the same way. We need to be connected. We need to hear the "snap" that comes from putting those blocks together. One block by itself doesn't snap into anything. We need to experience the "snap" that comes from connecting around a common person; Christ.
We're designed by God to be connected to one another. It's God's plan; it's the way He's wired us. At Calvary, we want to create environments where people can be connected for the purpose of life-change and community. It's not our goal to barrel through curriculum; we want to work through life-change together.
A changed life is a product of grace, time, and truth. Those three factors snapped together build life-change.
