Clusters F.A.Q. 8 Lifeshapes Resources 3dm Ministries

 

The members of Sammamish Hills seek to live a life balanced by the three dimensions of the life of Jesus:


  • UP with God
     
  • IN with other believers
     
  • OUT in service to the world (missional communities)

In living and serving Christ together, we have the following tools:

  • Our life together is STRUCTURED by relationships where we support each other while also holding each other accountable.
  • As we seek to be a MISSIONAL community, the language we use most often in reaching out to others is the Gospel of Jesus ordered into eight LIFESHAPES. Through these eight basic shapes we have a way of simply and concisely communicating with others who seek to follow Christ, different ways different ways of following Jesus, listening to the Spirit and establishing balance.
  • Finally, we've been given the DNA of the basic biblical concept of "Covenant" - who we are as children of God and "Kingdom" or "Kingship" - how our lives are ordered as followers of Christ.

One of the key relational structures for this life together is called a "Cluster" . Clusters are Missional communities with 30-70 people of all ages who focus on the outward vision of their leaders. The current Cluster offerings at Sammamish Hills are listed below. You are invited! Please join us!

Open to all adults (single/married/divorced/widowed), we are a fun group that gets together for a potluck the last Thursday of each month for fellowship and to focus on God's word and what it means to live out our faith.  In addition, we are dedicated to being God’s hands in the community, reaching out to those who are in need of food and shelter.   We give of our time and energy to two groups:  1) the Neighborhood Cooking Foundation, with rotating groups helping to prepare meals for the homeless on the second Saturday of each month (www.neighborhoodcooking.org) and 2) the YWCA Family Village, with cluster members helping to prepare and furnish transitional housing units for homeless families working towards independent living in permanent housing (www.ywcaworks.org). 

Come join us! For more information, contact Humphrey Fisser (206.909.6654).
