regional ministry resource page
As a church community, we’ve intentionally limited the scope and scale of our ministry to the Westside in order to concentrate our missional efforts and cultivate meaningful community, care, and discipleship.
We believe we can be more effective this way and make this massive city seem smaller.
For similar reasons, we’ve taken the same approach to the Westside itself by creating Ministry Regions where most people-facing ministry is carried out.
Within each Ministry Region is a Regional Network of people that we seek to equip and mobilize to serve others and engage in God’s work.
From within each Regional Network, we have appointed certain people to serve on a Regional Ministry Team to facilitate ministry, help newcomers connect, ensure that we respond well as care opportunities arise, and encourage people to participate in our 3-part Bible engagement.
This page has been created to provided resources to our Regional Ministry Teams.

CONNECT (ASSIMILATION)
There are 9 entry-points for Newcomers and each entry-point triggers it’s own unique response process.

All our assimilation efforts lead to a Mission Member meeting up with a Newcomer for coffee, with specific goals in mind.
