Missional Communities in Reach Church

Reach Communities

Michael Lyden introduces Reach Communities.

Our primary place of belonging within Reach is in Reach Communities.

These are extended family size groups of people who are on mission together to a particular geographical area or network of people within a town or city.

Within such communities we do life together, grow in relationship with God, and reach out to share the good news of a life of transformation with Jesus.

Each community will have its own particular rhythm of activities as it will be shaped around it’s missional focus.

““Missional Community is for me like having my extended family living close by. This is made even more special by the fact that my ‘extended family’ here in Leicester are purposefully seeking to grow in maturity together as Christians and to welcome others into the family of faith. We eat together, have fun together, support one another practically, study the Bible together, pray and worship together. “”
