WHAT IS A COMMUNITY GROUP?

We believe that community groups are the single best way to experience connection and care at Iron Works. Community Groups are a place for people to study, pray, eat, laugh, cry, and grow as we work through the awkwardness of community and belong to one another as we live life in Christ alongside one another.

A community group, ideally, is a group of 8-15 adults (and their children) who meet together at least twice a month for discussion, encouragement, friendship, and prayer. These groups provide care while also helping you grow in your faith.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF COMMUNITY GROUPS?

• A place to meet with and experience Jesus Christ together

• A place for belonging and friendship

• A place to explore the Scriptures

• A place where gifts are exercised

• A place to discover hope and experience love

Can anyone participate in a community group?

Yes! We hope everyone at Iron Works connects in a community group. They are for members, regulars, friends, neighbors, Christians and non-Christian’s, doubters, and the curious.

When and Where do Community Groups Meet?

Community groups meet throughout the week: Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesday, and Thursdays. They all meet in people’s homes, unless there is a special event planned.

The groups for the 2023 School Year are:

• West Chester, Downingtown, Pocopson, and West Goshen.

Who leads the groups?

Group leaders are members of Iron Works and have gone through the initial community group training, and are actively coached and supported by our pastor.

Are children invited to Community Groups?

Every group handles childcare differently. Some groups have kids participate, some hire a babysitter, others take turn to care for children, while others do not provide childcare at all.
