The Underground Community is an online place to get connected with others like you who are hungry for truth, deeper faith, and genuine relationships. This is a private community that gathers around Scriptural concepts and thoughts to marvel at their beauty, discuss God's wisdom, encourage one another with their promise, and implement their treasures into our daily life.
When you sign up for the Underground Community, you become part of a network of people like you who are passionate about being Christian and leaning into what that means. You will have access to other members with whom you can have direct or group conversations about similar interests, circumstances, or locations. You will be able to explore an online village that provides three main areas of gathering, our Headquarters, Haven, and Training Ground.
Headquarters is the main hub for our members to get connected and stay updated with all our big announcements. On the Home page, members can interact like you would in a living room. Share a personal accomplishment or challenge. Ask your questions. Share ideas, thoughts, comments and concerns, as well as enjoy the unique passions and creations of fellow members. Home is for creativity, sharing resources, collaboration and inspiration. Under this collection is also our Announcements page. Anytime there is something you need to know, it will be posted right here to keep you up to date to any changes or exciting events coming up!
The Haven is a community space for safety, encouragement and hope. The world is scary out there and one of the advantages we have as a body of believers is knowing and reminding each other that we are foreigners and strangers in this world. Heaven is our home. Therefore, we have safety and security already now because of our faith in Jesus that connects us with objective hope and resources from heaven. In this area of our digital village, you will find a Prayer Room as well as a Safe Room. In the Prayer Room, you can share whatever is on your heart that needs prayer from your family of brothers and sisters. You can simply share your prayer in the chat, or you can request a prayer from a specific brother or sister. Sometimes we will post a group prayer that we can all actively comment and add to. The Safe Room is a space where you can go when you are lost, afraid, hurting or looking for help in any way. You can ask for encouragement, give encouragement, confess a struggle and be received with grace and compassion, or simply talk out something you are dealing with. It is a safe space for all of us to make use of one of our greatest assets as the body of Christ, each other!
The Training Ground features four virtual classrooms where content will be added monthly focusing on four classes of Christian identity: Soldier, Disciple, Ambassador, and Steward. Under each of these classes, many areas of life will be discussed in depth and practical applications and challenges will be given to press these truths further into our daily lives.
We have also set up a space called the Areopagus, named in honor of Paul's famous visit to Athens during his missionary journeys. He went there to discuss with the thinkers of the day and reveal to them some new information about the true God. Our Areopagus is where members can discuss hard truths, challenging questions, and how to specifically apply ideas to their sphere of life and influence.
Besides this online village, you are gaining access to an actual village of very real people throughout your country and throughout the world who are here for you. In time, we will be creating local in-person gatherings and pods that can meet in-person to do all the things modeled and begun here digitally. You also gain early access and discounts to our national events where we can meet one another, engage in interactive seminars and activities that will challenge us to go deeper in our faith and our application of eternal truth back home.
When you commit to this community, you receive everything listed above, but you also become part of a movement to reignite the underground church from the past in today's culture and context so that we again are known for our strange and amazing self-sacrifice, fervent hope, and determined witness because of our Savior Jesus Christ. We believe he really did walk on the earth as a man 2000+ years ago, but who we believe is our God from eternity, and who rules all things on high even now, and will come again soon. Help us stand against the grain and boldly embrace who we are as Christians, citizens of heaven and family forever.
