Like this guide, the mission groups of Seekers Church are not perfect. Our commitment to be faithful to the call of Christ is limited by our humanity. Therefore, we try, and sometimes we fail, and then we try again. By God’s grace, we can sometimes learn from our failures. As we learn to love and forgive each other, we can begin to learn from our failures as a community.
This guide describes the mission groups of Seekers Church, but there are many other kinds of groups that come together to address specific needs. For the past four years, we have guided the renovation of our new headquarters through several self-organizing teams, where all are invited to focus on some particular element of the work, like building development, decoration and furnishings, community outreach or stewardship. There is a regular monthly gathering of our “crones” and a biweekly men’s breakfast. A group of musicians provides regular support for music in worship, and one of our members organizes a monthly “sing-along” where we gather in someone’s home to sing the old favorites. We currently also have several "ministry teams," committed to supporting a witness for peace, a community of ministries in Winterveldt, South Africa, and the work of a local inter-faith housing coalition. While these groups do not share a common commitment to both the inner and outer journeys, and many of their participants are also members of a mission group, they are an important part of our expression of Christian servanthood.
Finally, in Seekers Church mission groups are the place to belong. If you have questions, ask a member of the Servant Leadership Team, or talk to the moderator of one of our current mission groups. Moderators are identified on the mission group page of our web site at http://www.seekerschurch.org/mission/index.htm
