Going Deeper

At The Alpine Chapel, we want to encourage you to go deeper in your faith. Below is a simple framework to help you pursue a vibrant faith at home and in your communities. This will guide us as we seek to pursue God together.

The Quiet Place

Where we go to pursue God, study his word, and refill our soul. We encounter God's presence when we diligently and consistently seek him. (2 Cor 3:18)

The Table

Where we go to fellowship with others, sharing scripture, stories, and our lives with others in Christian Community. Community is a key component to our growth in Christ. (Heb 10:24-25)

The Road

Taking our faith out into our communities, sharing the reason for the hope we have in Christ. It can be in the workplace, in our neighborhoods, or wherever we join with others around us. (1 Peter 3:15)

Triads

We want to encourage you to pursue Discipleship with others this season through Triads

The goal of the Triads is to meet 4-6 times through the season to intentionally grow spiritually with a few others in close proximity! You can meet how and when it suits your triad, even online. If you have already been in a Triad, you can reconvene or start a new triad. If you start a new one, use the Story Resource below to guide your first few meetings. We think telling our stories to one another in this framework is one of the best ways to grow together. After you have told your stories, use the questions below to guide your time together. You can join/start a triad by pulling together some people you know or by emailing Jeff Fox at jfox@thealpinechapel.com
