What are Gospel Communities?
Our small groups, called Gospel Communities, provide a context to follow Jesus together. In these groups, relationships are cultivated as we learn to apply the Gospel to all areas of life.
Gospel Communities are made up of people from within and surrounding neighborhoods. They meet regularly throughout the month in homes across the Denver metro area. They value diversity of age, race, life stage, and experience, and Park Church hopes to continue to start and sustain groups that reflect that in every corner of our city.
Living as a disciple of Jesus means learning to be with Jesus and follow His way of life, and this happens best in the context of relationships.
We study the Bible together, pray with one another, love our neighbors together, and share both laughter and difficulties with one another. We use the gifts God has given us to serve one another, both internally as a group and externally for the sake of our neighbors and our city.
Our goal is to connect you with a Gospel Community in your part of the city and help you and your group grow together as disciples of Jesus for the glory of God and joy of all people.
HOW DO I GET INVOLVED IN A GOSPEL COMMUNITY?
Attend Park Church 101
The best first step into joining a Gospel Community is to attend Park 101 (see inset box), a Sunday morning class that introduces Park Church and casts a vision for Biblical community and how we seek to live it out through Gospel Communities, Teams, and more.
If you need further help finding a small group, please email tony@parkchurch.org.

Gospel Community Structure
Gospel Community Leaders
Our Gospel Community Leaders facilitate discussion and build relationships on a weekly or biweekly basis in homes across the city.
Here is our process for becoming a Gospel Community Leader:
- Fill out a New Gospel Community Leader Application
- Attend New Gospel Community Leader Training (a two-session training course)
- Complete a one-on-one interview with the Director of Community
Gospel Community Coaches
Gospel Community Coaches are veteran Gospel Community leaders at Park Church who have a passion for cultivating Christ-like communities and supporting Gospel Community Leaders. Their roles and responsibilities include ongoing leader development, embodying the vision of Gospel Communities in relationships, one-on-one discipleship meetings, and helping troubleshoot problem areas in individual Gospel Communities and the community ministry as a whole.
Shepherding Region Elders
The best way we’ve found to care for the city-wide community that is Park Church is by breaking it up geographically, assigning elders as overseers of particular regions.
LOOKING FOR MORE WAYS TO GET INVOLVED WITH COMMUNITY?
We love seeing people get involved in a variety of ways. When the entire church—not just its staff and leaders—takes ownership of the efforts and ministries that make us a church, it helps Park Church and the city around it to thrive.
