Sharing a Common Life

The gospel is the story of how God saves not just individuals, but a people for himself. Through the cross, we are reconciled to God and to each other into a community where connection overcomes isolation, unity overcomes division, and where we learn to love each other as Christ has loved us.

Pathway to Community at Apostles

  1. Fill out a Connection Card. This step will get you added to our email list and Slack channel, and a member of our staff team will follow up with you directly.

  2. Find a Fellowship Group. The chief way that we build friendship at Apostles is through Fellowship Groups: intergenerational and co-ed small groups that meet in homes 2-3 times a month for food, fellowship, and prayer. Our weekly email and weekly bulletin always have a current roster of available groups.

  3. Explore Affinity Groups. We also pursue fellowship and formation through Women’s & Men’s ministries, Young Adults, Youth and Children’s Ministries. Any member of staff can help you get connected to these opportunities.  

  4. Enter Catechesis. Catechesis is the process of biblical and theological instruction that forms us into faithful disciples of Jesus.

  • Apostles 101 is offered every fall and spring as the foundational introduction the vision, values, and culture of Apostles. It is also the pathway for local church membership for those who desire it.

  • Christianity 101 is offered over every Lent and Eastertide as a 12-week deep dive into the fundamentals of our faith: the Apostles’ Creed, the Ten Commandments, and The Lord’s Prayer. It is also the pathway to Confirmation/Reception/Reaffirmation into the global Anglican Communion for those who desire it.

  • Liturgy 101 is offered every September as a deeper introduction to why we do what we do in weekly worship.

  • Advent 101 is offered every November as an introduction to the church calendar, and why it begins with Advent.

  • Lent 101 is offered every Lent as an introduction to the spiritual practices of Lent that ready us for the celebration of Easter.

  • Charlotte 101 is offered every summer as a way to help us love and serve our city better by understanding her unique challenges and opportunities.

  • Discipleship Weekends are offered twice a year (usually January and October) for weekend intensives into particular books of the Bible and/or Christian themes.
