Diakonos Community is a community of people on mission together. Starting with this one community we are building a network of missional faith communities in Indianapolis that seek to serve and bring the life of Christ to those on the margins of society. We collaborate with community agencies that serve those in need and share Christ through meaningful relationships.
We believe that God uses many different forms of church as well as many different approaches to church to achieve His purposes in the world. Some Diakonos Communities will function as an outreach extension of traditional churches. Others will exist as autonomous missional churches as part of the Communitas International network. Regardless of the form each community takes, all Diakonos Communities seek to bring people together to experience communion with God, engage in redemptive community, and partner with Jesus in His kingdom work. Perhaps the best way to describe us is as a non-denominational version of a Franciscan order (without all living in the same house). We seek to live by a common set of values and practices in everything we do. We have a group that meets on Sunday mornings but our overall mission is not found exclusively in our Sunday morning gathering and includes others who are not a part of that gathering. |
