Communities are the primary way we live in relationship at Citizens.
Each Wednesday, Communities gather in homes across Bryan and College Station to share meals, pray together, study God's Word, and live as the family of God.
Why Communities?
Jesus lived in community, and His invitation to follow Him is an invitation into life with Him and His people. Throughout the New Testament, we see the early church gathering regularly in homes to devote themselves to the apostles' teaching, prayer, communion, generosity, and caring for one another. We believe that same rhythm is essential for the Church today.
What is a Community?
Communities are intergenerational gatherings that meet in homes and apartments throughout Bryan and College Station. They are where the spiritual family of Citizens is formed and where discipleship moves from a Sunday gathering into everyday life.
In Community, we share meals, open God's Word, pray for one another, care for one another, and live on mission together. It is a place to be fully known and fully loved—a place where spiritual gifts are practiced, needs are met, and lasting friendships are built.
Communities are the frontline of pastoral care, discipleship, prayer, generosity, and mission. They are the foundation of life at Citizens Church. Our prayer is that, like the early church, our Communities would become places where "the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved" (Acts 2:47).
How do I join a Community?
Before being placed in a Community, at least one member of each household must complete our New Member Night. New Member Night is our pathway to becoming a member of Citizens, helping you understand the heart of Citizens, getting connected to the church family, and taking your next step into community.
New Member Night is offered every month. Click the link below to register for the next night and begin the process of joining a Community.
