Community Groups are designed to be a place where people can engage with others from our church on a more personal level than what Sunday mornings can afford. Community Groups are small groups of people who meet in homes for the purpose of growing in the three relationships of the Christian life: our relationship with God, each other, and our city and world. Groups meet weekly during our fall, winter, and spring sessions.

Our 50+ group meets regularly throughout the year to laugh together, play together, share life with one another, and serve our broader community. We’re an informal group and a really great place to connect. For more information about upcoming events, see our CALENDAR.

Our mission at Christ Community is “to be a caring family of multiplying disciples influencing our community and world for Jesus Christ.” The core of our Family and Care Ministries is to design and offer ministries that magnify and emphasize the “caring family” part of our mission. We are working to establish the family as God intended it to be.

Family Enrichment and Education

We offer enrichment and education opportunities (classes, conferences, and retreats) in order to strengthen marriages and to help parents sharpen their parenting skills. For details about current opportunities visit our calendar or contact families@christcommunitykc.org for more information.

Counseling and Professional Assistance

Here at Christ Community we recognize that sometimes life and circumstance may require you to connect with a professional for help. Should you find yourself or someone you care about in need of professional help and you are uncertain where to turn, please contact one of our pastors and they can share with you ideas of counselors and professionals with whom you might connect.

Brookside’s Men’s Ministries provides men the opportunity to fellowship together, study Scripture, and pray with each other. The primary way this happens is with the Men of Brookside (we call it The MoB) study, which meets Fridays, 6:30-7:45am, in the Fireside Room. This is a weekly gathering to build friendships and discuss God’s Word over some early morning coffee. For information regarding the MoB, contact Ronnie Metsker at ronnie@ronniemetsker.com.

For more information about Men’s Ministries, please email us at PaulB@ChristCommunityKC.org, or call us at 913.685.1161.

Welcome to Women’s Ministries at Christ Community. The heart of our Women’s Ministries is to welcome, encourage, connect, and serve women as we journey together. We offer a variety of ways to connect for women of all ages and stages of life, including Bible studies, a play and enrichment group (Parents of BKS), serving opportunities, and fellowship events.

For more information, and for general information regarding Women’s Ministries, please contact Holly Justice at hollyjustice@gmail.com.

If you’re college-age, in your 20’s, or 30’s, you’re welcome to join the young adult community as we seek to build relationships with one another and be connected more deeply to the life of the church as a whole. We gather on the second Sunday evening of each month for an informal fellowship at each other’s homes, as well as for occasional lunches, service projects, and other events. To stay up to date on Brookside Young Adult activities, check out our Facebook page. Contact Taylor Fair with any questions.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and learn more about who we are and what we are about. We aim to live out our church’s calling to be a caring family of multiplying disciples influencing our community and world for Jesus Christ. Student Ministries is the place to connect and grow for any and all students who are in 6th – 12th grade. Here, relationships begin and are deepened, and spiritual formation takes place.

Taylor Fair, Associate Pastor – Brookside Campus

We value children at Christ Community and our Sunday morning worship gatherings are intentionally intergenerational, as people from all ages and stages of life worship God together as a community. We encourage families and children to worship together, but we also provide a time of playful formation for children. We provide age-appropriate programming for children ages 6 weeks through Kindergarten during our 9am service and we provide age-appropriate programming for Children ages 6 weeks through 5th Grade during our 10:45am service.

Parents may check in their children at the Children’s Ministries room before the service begins. For children participating in the worship service, Kid Connect activity sheets are available at the back of the worship center. These are designed to help children and families engage in God’s word and in the local church. If you have any questions, please contact Anna Lynn Rolf.

Razors Leadership Pathway is the place where men and women at Christ Community are “sharpened” (Proverbs 27:17) and refined as leaders so that they are razor-sharp, prepared to lead with integrity of heart and skillful hands (Psalm 78:70-72) in the local church and in their community and world.

Who is it for?

Razors Leadership Pathway is designed for anyone at Christ Community who desires to become a more integral and effective leader, both in the church and in our community and world. It is designed to train and equip leaders at Christ Community and is generally the basic prerequisite for anyone wishing to serve in a place of leadership at Christ Community. If you have any questions about whether this is the right pathway for you, please contact one of our staff to find out more, or visit our Razor’s Leadership Pathway website for details and registration information.
