Community Life

Recognizing that relationships thrive in an environment of intimate connection, common experience, and genuine sharing, our small groups—or Community groups, as we call them—provide a way for people to plug in to the larger community of Belmont, and to know and be known by others.

While our culture encourages isolation, we place tremendous value on community living. We believe that as we put our energies together, we become more than the sum of our parts. We become positioned to do the very thing Jesus commanded us-to grow in our capacity to love and to invest in the lives of others.

Community groups at Belmont serve as a place for friendship, pastoral support, expression of the gifts, and leadership development—just to mention a few of their many purposes.

The Bible reminds us that we need each other. Because none of us is sufficient on our own, we desire everyone to live in community. Joining with a small number of individuals, couples, or families experiencing similar life experiences builds a vital link between people desiring to enhance their dependence on God. Supported by mutual prayer, the study of Scripture, and the wisdom and compassion of those making similar journeys, our daily challenges come into perspective. Walking together, we're able to stay the path and join hearts in support of a shared passion to serve both inside and outside of the church. Relationship, meeting needs, putting faith into action, and serving beyond ourselves is the hallmark of Community Life.

Belmont Church has many small groups meeting throughout the greater Nashville area.
