Community Groups

  The Lord has blessed me with such an incredible community of men and women who love Him and seek his face. I help lead a small group at Overflow Church (Indiana Ave. Baptist College Ministry), which is kind of contradictory to call it “small”, because there’s usually 20+ that meet every Tuesday night at The Johnston’s home. 

   We are beyond blessed to have Tom & Jenny Johnston in our lives, offering their home for us to meet in, cooking us goodies that not every small group would probably have, and investing in our lives and loving each one of us. They have been incredible models for us to see what a Christ centered marriage & family looks like. They have also been incredible models in showing us what the role of a wife, mother, and a woman looks like as well as a husband, father, and Godly man who provides and watches over his family. I am blessed. Beyond blessed! 

   Not only is the community group I’m apart of so lucky to have such an incredible family that allows us to invade their home, but this community- this group of fellow believers, sisters and brothers, bless my life every week. Christ has shown me what operating as the church body looks like through this group. He has shown me what accountability looks like, and has let his love & glory reign. We have a good time, study the word, and seek the Lord on each others behalf. There seems to always be new people coming through the doors every Tuesday night, which I couldn’t be more overjoyed by!! Not only do I love seeing new people flood into the Johnston’s home; I love how fast we become family. Community Groups really holds to its name. We are community, we are accountability, and we are one body with many parts-personalities-and interests. Christ’s hand does amazing things. 

    This past tuesday night we came together for the first time since Spring Break. We played volleyball and later had a campfire and worship on the back porch. It was such a sweet time! The Lord has shown me how important community is in our walk with Him. How important it is to be around encouraging people who will love you and help you no matter what you’re going through. Get plugged into a church and invest in it. Get plugged into a small group, it doesn’t matter where or what ministry, but God wants to work and does work through community focused on Him! We were created for community, for relationships, and for pursuit of our King!
