On Friday of each week, you’ll receive the discussion questions via email to be able to prepare for your Community Group discussion. On Sunday afternoon, the discussion questions and video of the sermon will be posted on the app and at the sermon archive page linked below.
Content for Your Group
When it comes to determining what type of content to go through with your Community Group, there are a few different options you can choose:
1. Sermon-based discussion: Every sermon comes with discussion questions that you can use for your Community Group. To access the discussion questions, just find the most recent sermon here and select “Outline/Questions.”
2. COMMA Method: The COMMA method is a great way to study the Bible in a group setting. For more information on the COMMA method, you can watch this video by Pastor Clayton, or you can visit the Bible Savvy page.
3. RightNow Media: Christ Community Church provides a free subscription to RightNow Media for everyone who attends our church. To get started and make a free account, click this link.
4. Other: Every other week, our Community Groups Pastor sends out a bi-weekly email with a recommended study you could consider for your group. If you’re not receiving those emails, please reach out to Daniel Small at dsmall@ccclife.org. We ask that every Community Group participates in a minimum of eight weeks of sermon-based discussion (including the all-church study) and eight weeks of using the COMMA method.
