Seasonal & Ongoing communities

seasonal communities (fall)

Seasonal Communities provide an opportunity for people to participate in a community for a certain season of the year (Fall, Spring, and Summer). These communities are typically anywhere from 4-12 weeks long, and the shorter duration enables people to participate in different seasonal communities throughout the year.

Men’s and Women’s Bible Study Groups

Bible study groups gather regularly throughout each season to grow in our understanding of God’s Word – sign up for a Men’s Bible Study or a Women’s Bible Study. If you have any questions, please reach out to John Crawford.

Care Groups

Care Groups are designed for people who sin or have been sinned against, which means that they are for everyone. But these groups have a specific focus for people who are struggling or suffering. Care Groups are gender specific, and there are various Care Groups for different issues. Currently there are groups for sexual brokenness, suffering and heartache, addiction, and emotional health. The goal of these groups is that people would have a community of people to walk with them, and they would experience the transformative and healing power of Jesus in their lives.

College and Young Adults (CAYA)

We have a large demographic of college students and young adults at Redemption Tempe, so every Tuesday night we host College and Young Adult gatherings. In addition to these gatherings, there are Bible studies that happen at various times and places throughout the week which occur during the fall and spring semesters of the school year. These provide an opportunity for college students and young adults to connect with each other and participate in Christian community during an important stage of life. You can register for CAYA here or click the link below for more information.

ongoing communities

Ongoing Communities meet for the course of a year and typically take a break for the summer months of June and July. These communities require a higher level of commitment from people due to the nature and duration of the community.

Redemption Communities (RCs)

Redemption Communities provide the opportunity to build deep, meaningful relationships with other people who desire to be shaped and formed into the image of Jesus. This shared desire leads to participation in communal rhythms that the Holy Spirit uses to form us so we can live all of life, all for Jesus.

Family Communities

Family Communities are similar to Redemption Communities, but they are designed for a specific life stage: Parents with children. The goal of these communities is to equip and encourage one another for family discipleship as parents navigate cultural issues and how to be wise and faithful. These communities typically participate in the monthly Parent Gatherings, and meet less frequently than a traditional Redemption Community. Visit our Marriage & Family page for more information.

Support Group (Foster, Kinship, and Adoption)

This group offers support and encouragement to foster, kinship, and adoptive families in our church. It is led by other families who have been through the process. The goal of this group is to offer a safe place to share, build community, and be encouraged during what is often a complex, broken, and beautiful journey of loving vulnerable children and their families. There are also various certified trainings available throughout the year. Sign up for a support group here or join our support team here.
