It’s been a year of changes for the couples ministry here at Believers City Church. First off, we changed our name this fall to Co/Mission Couples. The name of our couples ministry is reflective of the nature of our calling. The Great Commission is truly a co-mission. We are called to work together, grow together, and journey together. To this end, we meet together in both small and large groups with varying activities in our local communities as well as our homes.

In September we spent the day in Stillwater, MN, for a day retreat entitled “Dispute & Devotion”. The retreat primarily entailed teachings by Matt Chandler covering the book of Malachi with small group discussions about the dangers of comfort and a call to put Christ and Kingdom first in our lives.

This fall, we kicked off new small group book discussions. We’ve been enjoying meeting in one another’s homes twice monthly, sharing dinner and then reading through Intoxicated with Babylon by Steve Gallagher. It’s been a time of discipleship and growth in our friendship as we open up our homes to each other and talk over what we’re learning.

Most recently, we invited all couples to join in decorating the church sanctuary for the Christmas season. It was a festive time making wreaths (revealing many artists in the group), hanging garland, and eating cookies.
