RezGroups

RezGroups help us connect to others as a way to experience God and the transforming power of his Gospel in and through the community of the church. They are a simple means for seeing God’s Kingdom come in our lives and in the community around us.

A RezGroup usually consists of roughly 12 people, who meet together regularly for spiritual growth as Christian disciples. Meetings typically include some combination of fellowship, study, worship, prayer, service & mission.

Most RezGroups meet weekly in homes throughout the city. Each group establishes its own schedule. Generally, RezGroups start or renew three times each year: Epiphany (January), Pentecost (late May/early June) and Labor Day (September), but  you can get connected to one at any time.

To talk about joining or hosting a RezGroup, Email Aaron Damiani and include your name, address, phone number, and interest, or call the church office at 202.573.8586.

Read the RezGroups Guide for more details.

Triads

A triad is a gender specific group of three people that gathers weekly for a year in order to grow as disciples of Jesus through prayer, transparency and study of the Scriptures.

The ultimate goal of a triad is Christian maturity through mutual commitment and intentionality. In this context, God’s love and truth heals wounds, confronts sin, and forms our core commitments such that we desire God’s kingdom.

The bedrock discipline of a triad is consistent meetings, usually every week. Without regular meetings, triads rarely accomplish their goals. Other disciplines include:

PRAYER. As a team, triads intercede for one another, trusting God to accomplish his purposes within us. Triads also pray together for God’s kingdom to come, both in small and big ways.

TRANSPARENT CONFESSION. In an environment of trust and confidentiality, triads share stories with one another, including burdens and challenges as well as victories. This requires trust and confidentiality.

ENGAGING THE SCRIPTURES. Triads let the Bible investigate us, and call us to account before God. Triads seek the Scriptures so that God will realign our thinking, behavior, and motives.

Triads are imperfect, and varied in form. Each will go through seasons where one discipline is stronger than the others. Email Aaron Damiani if you’d like help forming a triad. You can also make use of the Triads Guide, or A Liturgy for Triads we have created.
