NEXT STEPS

Squads

We never look more like Jesus than when we serve.
Serving our community is a privilege. Jesus was generous with his life, so we will be generous with our time, treasures, and talents.

Our Squads are made up of people who create engaging environments for people to experience Jesus.

Squads serve everyone they come in contact with at Authentic Church.

What squad should I be a part of? Check out the opportunities below and then sign up here.

  • Welcome

    This squad makes guests feel welcome from the time they drive into our parking lot. There are many opportunities on this squad to make our guests feel like they belong.

  • Authentic Kids

    Authentic Church loves kids! This squad is for those adults who still like to play with Legos. If you have a lot of energy and want to teach kids about Jesus, this squad is for you.

  • Production

    Lights, loud music, videos! This squad is for those who have a passion to do things big. And have a heart to create an authentic worship experience for our guests.

  • Worship

    If you like to jam out, have a musical skill, and a passion for worship, here is a squad designed for just that.

  • House

    This squad is a “during the week” squad. If you like to be behind the scenes, but want to serve the house, this is it. The house squad takes care of the roadhouse throughout the week.

Rooted

The Rooted Experience is a catalyst for life change no matter where you are in your walk with Jesus. These 12 experiences over a 10-week journey will challenge you to connect with God, the church, and your purpose in unexpected ways.

Rooted is for everyone! Groups thrive when they have a broad spectrum of both faith and church experience. We believe Rooted will impact your faith journey and overall life whether you’ve been a Christian for a short time or for your entire life.

Rooted groups model the value of a healthy spiritual community while simultaneously training leaders to lead thriving life groups well beyond the original experience. The Rooted Experience is built around these goals.

Baptism

Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. When Christians are baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection. We have baptisms 3-4 times a year.

People often have questions regarding baptism: Why be baptized? Should I be baptized again? Feel free to reach out to us at info@authenticil.com and we will get back to you shortly!

Authentic Groups

We can get lost in a crowd, but we can be seen in a group.

  • What are Authentic Groups?

    Authentic Groups are small groups of people that pray for, support and encourage each other. They meet every other weeks during group seasons. Authentic Groups turn a crowd into community.

  • What is the subject matter at the groups?

    Groups unpack the message from the previous Sunday experience. This allows people to share what God was doing in their heart during the message while asking questions that can help them put it into practice. Think of Sunday as the “Tip of the Iceberg” and Authentic Groups going beneath the surface. There will be discussion guides sent out to every Authentic Group members prior to them meeting.

  • Are there different groups for different people?

    Yes, some groups may be designed for certain people. For instance, there may be a group for women, men, singles, couples, young adults, and students. Just Click the “View Groups” link to see groups we have currently.
