Skyview Fellowship Communities

What is a “Fellowship Community?”
A Fellowship Community is a hospitality creating group; it is an “event-creating-group” for fostering hospitality within Skyview Presbyterian Church. In other words, a Fellowship Community does fun things together for the purposes of making new friends and cultivating friendships within the church. We also want to be a welcoming community to visitors to our church.

Is a Fellowship Community the same as a L.I.F.E. Group?
A Fellowship Community is different from a L.I.F.E. group (Learning, Involvement, Friendship and Extension). A LIFE group meets regularly (monthly or bi-monthly) for study, discussion, prayer and outreach. In contrast, a Fellowship Community is a fun-social events group, seeking to offer and foster hospitality.

What are Skyview’s Fellowship Communities called?

Second Saturday Social is for ladies 10 years and older.
Friends in Grace is for approximately 25 to 45 years old and their children.
Renaissance (which means flourishing) is approximately for 45 to 65 years.
Wise and Wonderful is for 65 years and older.
Skyview Guys Group is open to guys of all ages.

Why do we have Fellowship Communities?
When a person or family seeks out a church, they are looking for certain things:

Does this church share our personal views on God, salvation, scripture, music selection, etc.?
Does this church offer ministries for all the members of our family?
Are there places for us to serve here?
Can we see ourselves and our family becoming an integral part of this church?

Skyview Fellowship Communities are ministries seeking to answer the above questions, by creating the occasion for friendships within the community of our church.

What is the Goal of a Fellowship Community?
Skyview Fellowship Communities have three hospitality goals:

To create events for Skyview people to deepen their existing relationships with each other.
To create events so that Skyview people will meet new people, get to know and become friends with each other. As a pastor, I want to know that all Skyview people are finding friends among us.
This third goal is an outreach piece: to cause visitors to Skyview to think that because of a fellowship community event, "I can see myself and my family part of this church."

I hope you’ll consider joining in the fun, friendship and joy!
