Mission of Adult Faith Formation

educational experiences for adults that nurture the
You are hearing about a new season here at Ascension and we want to step up in many ways. One way is Small Groups. We are creating Small Groups to be signs of a church, signs of hope. We are made for relationships; we have a personal faith but not a private faith. Nothing in our mission speaks about keeping what we do to ourselves.
The life of the church we read about in Acts was a common life, “All who believed were together and had all things in
common … Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking bread in their
homes. They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart, praising God and enjoying favor with all the
people.” (Acts 2:44, 46-47)
Without Christ-centered friendships any journey of faith will most likely be slower, less steady and we’ll likely fall and fail. When we have friendships in which Christ is a central part, we connect with him in a way we will not on our own. In other words, we grow [Ascend] in faith relationally. (Rebuilt, White&Corcorcan p. 153)
Small Groups are intentional Christ-centered friendships. Gatherings are held once a week usually in a home. We watch
a video and discuss it along with questions. Why not join Small Group?
