Spring Discipleship Community Preview
Greetings Mission Cincinnati,
It is hard to believe, but 2022 is just around the corner, and we are so excited for what’s ahead! God has been at work within our community over the last year, helping us establish some great opportunities and rhythms for discipleship and community, and in the New Year, we’ll continue to build upon that great foundation. Some of what we will offer will be the same as this Fall, and some of it will be new. We’ll share more about all this in the future, but here is a preview:
Epiphany-tide Classes – New!*
For five weeks in January and early February, we’ll have an opportunity to engage some important topics and do some training. Here is the current line-up of classes.

Regional Small Groups – New!*
Starting in mid-February, we are going to launch our first ever Regional Small Groups! These intergenerational groups will be meeting all around Cincinnati and NKY and will provide an opportunity for fellowship/food, prayer, and engagement with the previous week’s sermon or another Scriptural topic of interest. These groups are open to everyone inside and outside the church and are great spaces to continue to deepen one’s relationship with the Lord and one another. If you have already gone through the Pathways cohorts, these are a great next step for you. Our Winter/Spring 2022 Regional Small Groups will be meeting through the middle of May in Pleasant Ridge, Mt. Auburn, and Union KY, and we expect to expand these offerings in the Fall of 2022.
Pathways Cohorts
Also re-starting in mid-February (the week of the 13th) will be our Mission Pathway Cohorts. If you are relatively new to the church, these cohorts are for you. They are a great place to meet new people and help you understand what we believe as a church. Heartbeat/Anglican 101, which meets on Sundays directly after church for 9 weeks, will help you understand the vision and values of our church, and Anglican 101 will help you understand the distinctives of our Tradition. Storied, which meets in homes for 12 weeks will provide you with an opportunity to wrestle with and discuss the grand sweep of the Scriptures and the historic beliefs of the church. There will be two Storied cohorts this Winter/Spring; one will meet in Edgewood, KY and the other will meet in Mount Washington. Both cohorts will share meals with each other before diving into discussion.
You can begin signing up for Pathways today on our website HERE—> http://www.missioncincinnati.org/pathways-form
Gatherings for Women, Men, and Moms
Also re-starting in mid-February will be our monthly gatherings for women, men, and mom’s. These are great spaces to have fun with each other and to get to know each other more deeply. All our gatherings for the Winter/Spring will be announced by late January.
Spring-term classes – New!*
For five weeks in May/June, we’ll have another opportunity for classes. These classes will be announced in early Spring.
We hope you will join us!
Blessings,
Rev. Kristen
