WHAT ARE OIKOS Hearing and doing GROUPS?

The early church was in the habit of being together -- a lot.  We read in Acts 2:46  that “every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.”  Notice how the church gathered in both “the temple”  and in “homes.”  There is great value for our shared life in Christ in both contexts - community in a larger setting like temple (for us Sunday worship and/or Connections) as well as smaller, more intimate settings like homes.

Oikos Hearing and Doing Groups (Oikos is the Greek word for home, household, and family) are a means for pursuing a life of following Jesus together at MCC. The basic structure of the group: meet twice a month for food, fellowship, prayer, and Bible. The emphasis of these groups will be growing as disciples who are on mission, in community, and devoted to Christ. 


Join us on the adventure as we pursue becoming fully devoted, life-long followers of Jesus!
