Meets 1st and 3rd Sundays.
Contact: Meredith Turner at
Tangible Kingdom “Dojo” - Too often, a church small group is a place of talking only. In contrast, a “dojo” is a place of practice. Students in a martial arts dojo train to become black-belts. Disciples in our dojo train to become vessels of Kingdom grace and peace to our secular friends. We’re committed to praying for our friends and experimenting with various ways of connecting them to the goodness of Jesus. We’re committed to risking, being willing to fail . . . and trusting that we’ll meet Jesus along the way.

Downtown San Jose - "Ironmen"
|
Meets weekly at 7 pm
Leaders: Dan Braunworth & Andy Scheer
Contact: braunwod_at_gmail_dot_com or bwanascheer_at_gmail_dot_com
Men in the 20s & 30s. “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Men in this group are growing together in trust, relationship, and accountability as we journey together as disciples of Jesus in brotherhood. These values stem from our intentional pursuit of relationship with God and desire to see our brothers and ourselves made more like Christ. We desire to be known and to know each other deeply, encouraging one another regularly to live a life of faith by taking an active part in each other’s lives.
How we do this: meeting weekly for devotional time, discussion, prayer, accountability, and food. After dinner and discussion, we split off to sub-groups for personal prayer and accountability. On a monthly cycle, we break from the usual meeting to participate with one of the brother’s ministry initiatives. We also look for opportunities to engage throughout the week to develop community by having fun and strengthening relationships.
