Connection + Community
Whether you're new to following Jesus, have been a Christian for a long time, or simply curious about it all, Groups are a great way for you to connect with others and get involved at Meta.
Getting Connected
New York City presents no shortage of challenges for everyday life. This is especially true when it comes to finding people who make you better and who you actually like spending time with.
That’s why Groups at Meta are such a vital part of who we are and what we do. Our Groups are all about helping you connect with other people who live nearby, have similar interests, and are moving in the same direction when it comes to faith and life.
Forming Community
Community is about people from different walks of life, and with different experiences, coming together with common interests and shared goals. And one of the keys to healthy community is knowing the people walking alongside you are moving in the same direction.
That’s exactly what we aim to do with our Groups at Meta Church! From the beginning, being part of a community has been a vital part of the Christian faith and our goal is to help everyone at Meta experience that community in the form of groups.
Following Jesus Together
Two thousand years ago, Jesus said to His disciples, “Follow me.” But what does it mean for us to follow Jesus today?
This is the question we’ll seek to answer as part of our Practicing The Way Groups! In these Groups, we’ll explore what it means and how we can better follow Jesus in our busy, distracted, and increasingly secular culture.
Through meaningful conversations, generous hospitality, and intentional application, you’ll form a foundational understanding of intentional spiritual formation and what it means to follow Jesus. Our Groups will use the materials provided through The Practicing The Way Course.
Upcoming Events
Our next round of Groups will launch in January, but in the meantime you can see our list of upcoming events happening at Meta in the coming weeks and find something that piques your interest!
