Because God is relational — Father, Son, Spirit — He invites us to walk with Him. But walking alone is often hard. We walk by faith, not by sight, this side of heaven. At APC, we see community groups as a key vehicle for promoting authentic fellowship – fellow travelers in life who regularly help to spur one another on in faith, hope, and love. We do it with a tenacious faith and eyes fixed on Jesus. Armed with hope, we open ourselves up to gospel transformation. Rooted in love, we seek to make ourselves known and seek to be known by others in the context of community.

A CFG is a group of 5-12 people who meet regularly with the goals of growing in gospel-centered community. The five components of a CFG are expressed in TEAMS:
Truth – study and meditation of God’s word
Equipping – training in the area(s) of spiritual giftedness
Accountability – forming Godly spiritual habits
Mission – caring for and sharing the good news with others
Supplication – talking to God through prayer
CFGs are a great way to grow in gospel-centered community. One of the key components to growth is close proximity — close proximity to Christ as revealed in the Bible, and close proximity to other like-minded believers. CFGs are also where we as a church seek to do “front-line pastoral care”. Take a look at our CFG listing below to find a group that works for you (Group locations are general not specific).
We want to help you find a community that you can journey through life with. Begin the conversation and take the bold step of checking out a group.
