MICROCHURCHES

A microchurch is a committed group of Jesus followers, roughly the size of an extended family, empowered by the Spirit, to participate in God’s mission of redemption in a particular neighborhood and/or network of relationships. Due to their size, accessibility, focus and flexibility, we believe microchurches are the space most conducive to discipleship. Perhaps not surprisingly then, they are a big deal to us and are our primary organizing structure as a community (of communities) of faith.

Our microchurches meet throughout the month in homes, breweries, parks, restaurants, carports and backyards. The meeting times, locations and rhythms for each microchurch vary and is determined by its members. Most meet at least every other week as an MC core for prayer, biblical engagement, table fellowship and peer to peer discipleship. In addition to meeting as a core, all of our MCs are involved in stepping into various needs in our city and together creating safe spaces for others to experience Jesus-centered community.

As Commonwealth continues to grow and the Spirit leads, our dream is to to see more and more microchurches planted throughout our city to bless, make much of Jesus and see God’s kingdom come in Knoxville as it is heaven.
