At Onward, we believe that living life in authentic relationships leads to spiritual transformation.
Life is Better Together
Our mission for community is to connect people in authentic relationships that lead to spiritual transformation. Community groups play a vital role in helping relationships flourish in the life of the church. In community we are known, loved, cared for, pursued, encouraged, and challenged to be more like Christ.
At Onward, we have married and men’s/women’s groups who meet on a regular basis to connect relationally, study God’s Word, and hold each other accountable. Our goal in community is to live out the 6 core values which are based in scripture.

COMMUNITY CORE VALUES
|
DEVOTE DAILY Devote daily to a personal relationship with Jesus “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 |
PURSUE RELATIONALLY Pursue deep relationships with one another based on love and acceptance. “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor.” Romans 12:10 |
LIVE AUTHENTICALLY Live authentically, sharing our struggles. “Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.” James 5:16 |
ADMONISH FAITHFULLY Encourage and admonish one another faithfully towards maturity. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” Colossians 3:16 |
COUNSEL BIBLICALLY Offer and receive biblical counsel in all areas of life. “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 |
ENGAGE MISSIONALLY Engage intentionally with our communities and the world to make disciples. “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 |
