What We Do
What we strive to do is simple: we seek to facilitate environments where people can encounter the Gospel, grow, live in community and live on mission.
Deep Discipleship
Renovation Church is a 3-Layer community. In our desire to live out the full function of the New Testament church, Renovation exists both gathered and scattered in how we worship, serve, and do life together through the Gospel, on mission, and in community.
The Worship Gathering is made up of all our City Groups gathered together for corporate worship. Each City Group is made up of Fight Clubs and Fight Clubs are made up of a few individuals doing life together and digging down deep. Each level of community is meant to serve as a means of discipleship, relationship, accountability, and community—Fight Clubs being the deepest and most intimate of the three.
Decentralized Mission
All of Renovation’s cultural engagement, service, missional equipping and living, leadership training and (eventually) church planting will take place through City Groups. Through City Groups, we “LWH,” an acronym for “Live, Work, Hang,” meaning that in City Groups people are doing life together and on mission together where they live, where they work, and where they chill.
Why is this important? This decentralizes the mission, putting it in the hands of the people, rather than missions being primarily the responsibility of the leadership.
Defined Environments
Where the worship gathering serves each of us primarily through preaching of the bible and worship in song, the City Groups serve to build us up through tangible expressions of the Gospel, community and mission. What takes place in City Groups is discussion of sermon material, studies on spiritual disciplines and doctrine, prayer and worship, living on mission and serving together.
Finally, Fight Clubs dig deeper relationally, encouraging trust and the giving of ourselves to one another in discipleship, nurturing, and accountability. City Groups and the worship gathering will be weekly with set days and times; Fight Clubs will meet every other week on any day and at any time the members of that Fight Club choose. This is our way of avoiding a programmatic and event-centered church culture.
