The Importance of Community

Community Groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place. At August, we believe that Community Groups are absolutely vital to our spiritual lives. Considering that the early church worshipped in large settings in the synagogues as well as in homes, we unite together similarly in order to be in deeper fellowship with God and one another. God has reconciled us not only to Himself but also to each other. This "each other" is called His Church. Thus, we intentionally strive toward community through men's/women's groups, home gatherings, and other personal settings.





August Community Groups

  • Jeremy & Kate Bishop

    1945 E. Balboa Dr.

    The Kenshaws meet at their home every Tuesday night from 7pm to 9pm. Along with the awesome conversation and prayer time, you can typically expect a wonderful desert from Maggie. For more info, email Jerry.

  • Kaitlin Olson

    128 E. Hermosa Dr.

    Kris host his Home Group at his home every other Wednesday evening, from 6:30 to around 9:00pm. Each meeting starts with a prayer time for friends, the church and Tempe, and ends in awesome discussion about how to live out the Gospel in the community.

  • John Spencer

    608 Auburn Dr.

    Susan & Morgan meet after church every Sunday at 2pm. Although the group members tend to revolve a bit (thanks to the local university), the Henry's love providing a later brunch (and sometimes early dinner) to their group. Contact Morgan for more info.

Create Your Own Community

We have so many people starting new Community Groups each month, and love to encourage multiplication and stepping out in faith in this way! If you are someone who is either considering starting a Community Group in the next couple years, or is ready now, please let us know. We'd love to be a part of your preparation and process before you begin.


If you would like to start a Community Group, please contact Kurt Wilson.
