Groups
Jesus described his early disciples as those who would be known by their love. He said, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” As disciples of Jesus, we believe that this act of love is best lived out when we are truly connected with others in biblical community. We desire for everyone who calls York Alliance their church home to connect with others at several different levels. The groups listed below are intended to help individuals step into biblical community and grow in their walk with Jesus!
Community Groups
Community Groups are small groups of people who meet weekly in order to build up and encourage one another, care for each other and those in our sphere of influence, and reach out into the world with the gospel of Jesus. These inter-generational communities help us love the things that God loves.
Each week, Community Groups take time to focus on loving each other, glorifying Jesus, living life based on His Word, and loving the world around us. Groups with children also have a separate time for kids (called “Vine Time”) to learn to apply the truth of Jesus to their lives. Community Groups are an essential part of the York Alliance body and are one of the primary means of establishing connections.
Discipleship Partners
Discipleship Partners are same-gender groups of two or three who commit to journeying deeply with one another. Partners meet at least twice monthly to connect with one another, apply the Scriptures to their lives, and to pray together. These connections are places of both confession and repentance as well as joyful celebration.
Revive Women’s Group
Revive is a weekday Bible Study for women of all ages. It is typically a mixture of video teaching, large group discussion, small group time, as well as home study. The Revive group meets at York Alliance Church on the first and third Wednesday mornings of each month, starting in September. All are welcome!
Redemption Groups
Redemption Group is an intensive Bible-based discipleship program for men and women who desire to experience freedom and to pursue a deeper walk with Christ through His redemptive work on the cross. Jeremiah 17:9 states, “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately sick; who can understand it?” In Redemption Group, space is created to explore the deeper issues of the heart through honest reflection, gospel truth, and spiritual formation—trusting that real change happens from the inside out. In Redemption Group, participants discover that Jesus Christ alone is the answer to the above question— bringing redemption not only for our own sin, but also for the pain and brokenness we experience in a fallen world. Within a safe and grace-filled community, men and women walk together toward healing as they encounter the life-changing message of the Gospel. No matter the struggle—whether emotional, spiritual, relational, or behavioral—God’s grace meets each person with the power to heal, restore, and set them free.
