He also pastored while in Longview.Jerry served eight years in Bolivia, South America, as pilot of a Cessna 206. He and his family lived in the city of Santa Cruz, and he flew out to remote jungle villages to support missionaries by bringing all their food, mail, and other supplies. Flights were made to many villages where the name of Jesus had never been spoken in order to show Christian films and preach the Gospel. The Cessna was also utilized to transport very sick villagers to hospitals.

In 1982, while the Kidds were on their second furlough, the Missions Department of the BMAA was restructured, and Jerry was asked to serve as Foreign Missions Director.

How We Gather

Whether you’re new to Central Arkansas, visiting with a friend, or looking for a family of disciple-makers to belong to, we’re excited you’re considering joining us! We exist to love God and ALL people by becoming authentic disciples who make disciples for the glory of God and the good of the city. We’re a Gospel-driven, multicultural, multigenerational, disciple-making family of families.

How We Meet

On the first and third Sunday of each month, CityGroups meet in homes around Central Arkansas. We call this CityGroup Sunday. Corporate or “large-family” worship gatherings are held other Sundays at 10 am at 317 South Shackleford in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Why? Simply, for the purpose of intentionally emphasizing the importance of relationships. We gather for CityGroup Sundays in our homes all over our Central AR on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. Those smaller groups allow us to know one another more deeply and to be known, while we care for each other. It also allows each of us to grow and use our gifts to lead and serve in the ministries God has given us. (I Cor. 14:26; Eph 4:12)

We gather in diversity of cultures, race, and age in different areas all over Central AR. And we gather as a family of families in unity.

On the other Sundays of the month (2nd, 4th and 5th) we gather at our ministry hub called 317 – During the week it’s a full-time coffeeshop, café, and music venue but on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays of the month all of our groups gather for worship. That allows us to be better stewards of the property we have – using it 7 days a week, providing a wonderful space for life together, and a way to bless our community around us.

FAQ’S

WORSHIP GATHERING FAQs

What can I expect at a Worship Gathering?

Worship Gatherings are the 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays of each month. We keep it simple. We love to worship God together as a big family of families through prayer, song, and proclaiming the Gospel. We take the command seriously to gather and even find ourselves longing to be together to love and serve our fellow believers and worship Christ together!

What about my kids?

We love them! We have age-appropriate classes for children birth-2nd grade. We are here to come alongside you as parents in the joys and trials of raising children and to partner with you in proclaiming the Gospel to the youngest generation. As we come alongside you to disciple children in SCKids, it is our passion to help them understand that God’s Word is full of life, love, truth, and redemption for them today. We want them to know that Jesus delights in a relationship with them. We recommend you come about 15 minutes early on your first visit to check in your children.

CITYGROUP SUNDAYS FAQs

What can I expect at a CityGroup Sunday?

CityGroup Sunday consists of a meal together, communion, worship, prayer, and a Discovery Bible study. There is no doubt that the Spirit of the living God is moving all over the world in His church to be more effective disciple-makers, and like the first-century church, we believe that life together in our homes is a great place to do that. Each time we gather, we remember that God has called us to BE the church, living as a family in genuine relationships and accountability, committed to loving one another, caring for one another, and being on mission together for the sake of God’s glory. We believe this rhythm of meeting together will lead to a healthier church family where you can be known, loved, and shepherded intentionally to become more like Christ. These groups are full of ordinary people just like you, serving an extraordinary God.

What about my kids?

We love them! Kids weren’t an afterthought in Jesus’ ministry, and they aren’t during CityGroup Sundays! Each group is different in how kids are involved, especially depending on age, but typically they participate in the meal, worship, and reading of the scripture passage. Most groups rotate two or more adults to lead a time of teaching and prayer just for kids.
