Life Together
Community means a lot to us here at Missio.
We often talk about the importance of mission through mutuality. In other words, we need each other to understand Christ more profoundly and to partner with Him as He transforms us and the world.
And everything we do flows from our main values as a church.
-
The women of Missio do a weekly Scripture study together each fall and spring, meeting in each others’ homes around Durham and the surrounding areas.
-
A year-long study, meeting twice a month at the Wests’ home in Apex, walking through one of the Bible Project’s courses.
-
The men of Missio do a weekday morning study at a coffeeshop in Durham, walking through different books of the Bible.
-
There are always opportunities to help make our weekly service happen, and these can be great ways to develop closer friendships with others as you serve together.
(Embodiment) Transformation
-
What we call our small groups, Missio groups meet weekly and locally at different days and times, in Durham and the surrounding areas, to build community and encourage one another to live missionally.
-
The men of Missio meet for breakfast each month at a Chick-fil-a in Durham to enjoy good food and fellowship.
-
A group that exists to encourage fellow artists in their callings and to create spaces for the church to encounter the Lord through artistic expression.
(Centering Gospel) Mutuality
-
Missio’s local partner, Parktown Food Hub is a fantastic food pantry serving the Durham area. We donate canned beans to them on the last Sunday of every month, and we volunteer at special events. This is one of the main ways we serve our Durham community.
-
We partner with two house churches in Zimbabwe planted by Pastor Washington and his wife Roina. Providing mutual prayer and encouragement, Missio also supports the churches financially for their weekly worship rental, and most recently for their new grocery store. From the store’s income, Trinity Churches hope to provide tangible hope by multiplying entrepreneurial efforts in the area.
-
a ministry that provides essential modifications and repairs for low income households in Durham and the surrounding areas so others can experience a better quality of life as a tangible expression of God’s love.
