Small Christian Community Program at Saint Francis of Assisi



        
“Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst”                                                                        Jesus of Nazareth

 

             “Faith is a treasure, which is enriched by being shared”                                                                             Catechism of the Catholic Church

 

What is a Small Christian Community?
A Small Christian Community is a gathering of Christians who come together regularly to seek ways to respond to God’s presence in their lives and in the world.  Members share their human stories and their faith with one another.  They read the scriptures together, they pray and they sometimes sing.  Together they may perform outreach/service as an extension of blessings received.  They most often meet in one another’s homes.  There may be five or six people, or ten or twelve.
 

Why do Small Christian Communities exist?
For mutual support
For on-going learning and formation in faith
To focus on the upcoming Sunday readings
For encouragement and accountability of action on behalf of the gospel
For prayer and worship 

Looking at the early Christian tradition we note they prayed together, shared stories about Jesus and how these stories related to their own live.  As they grew into a caring community the supported one another as they reflected in the growth of faith and mission to spread the Gospel to friends and family.  New relationships, new friends and a very personal and welcoming church occurred.  It was a fun and rewarding mission.
