Living on Mission Together

Join a Missional Community

What Is a Missional Community?

Following Jesus isn't meant to be done alone. Missional Communities are weekly gatherings where we share a meal, dive into Scripture, and pray for our neighborhoods. It's a place to be seen, known, and loved while on mission together.

Rooted In Jesus

Rooted In Jesus

We dive into Scripture as we remember what God has done and get ready for what's next.

Cultivated in Community

Cultivated in Community

We share a meal and life together over great food and even better conversation (bring food to share).

Reaching the World

Reaching the World

We pray for people in our networks and neighborhoods who don't know Jesus, and look for ways to serve North Spokane where we live, work, and play

how are missional Communities different?


Open Chair Policy

We believe the best door to the church is through people's homes. We encourage everyone to bring friends to our groups, allowing them to experience Christian community in a welcoming, natural setting.  

Doorway to Discipleship

MCs are discipleship in the social space. As people share life around the table, we encourage them to go deeper—forming groups of 3-5 who meet outside the weekly gathering to invest in one another and build personal discipleship relationships that help them trust and follow Jesus.

Week of October 20, 2026

This Week’s Discussion Guide

Cultivated in Community

Share: Make sure everyone knows each other's name. What is a harmless hill you will absolutely die on? (Pineapple on pizza, the right way to load a dishwasher, and so on.)

Rooted in Jesus

Big Idea

There's no debate: God's the Judge, and you're not

Scripture

Romans 14:1-12

Look Back

  • What stood out to you from Sunday's sermon or the passage itself?
  • Where do your own convictions land in the four rings? Name something you would die for, something you would debate with charity, and something you have settled before the Lord that other believers see differently.
  • Is there a belief or practice that would keep you from joining a church, like worship style, baptism, or how the church is led? Which ring does it really belong in?
  • Paul names two sins: contempt (rolling our eyes) and judging (pointing a finger). Which one is your habit? Who is one brother or sister you could pull out a chair for this week?

Look Forward

Romans 14:13-23

  • What are some questions you have about this passage?
  • What are some observations you have from this text? (Try to avoid interpretation, but it will likely happen.)
  • What are you looking forward to in this passage?

Reaching the World

Look Around

Go around the group. Did you have any interaction this week with someone on your FRANCES list, or the person you have been praying for? Tell us what happened, even if it was small.

If not, what is one step you could take this week?

There is no church Sunday, September 6th. Enjoy your sabbath Sunday!
