Small groups are an extension of Christ\u2019s shepherding through the elders, pastors, and under shepherds. These small groups exist to glorify God vertically, and provide a horizontal vehicle to practically make disciples through the mutual ministry of small groups. God made us in His image so that we might be image bearers, but mankind rebelled and we now live in a shattered image. In Christ, we are redeemed and are being restored as image bearers of Christ. The Gospel forms Christ in our lives by the Holy Spirit and through community together. We were created and saved to worship Jesus in community, who Himself exists in community (Trinity). It is our desire that our neighbors within this city are blessed by the love of Jesus through the saved,\u00a0sanctified, and sent lives of our members. These small groups are centered on the Gospel with Gospel Identities (Matthew 28:18-20) from a Trinitarian Identity:<\/p><p>1) God the Father adopts us and makes us family in which we love one another.<br \/>2) God the Son purchased us and makes us servants to the Master, whom we joyfully serve as a foretaste of the\u00a0coming Kingdom.<br \/>3) God the Holy Spirit sends us as missionaries.<\/p><p>Strategically, small groups count the cost by considering\u00a0where people live (geography), work\/ school (vocation),\u00a0and play (affinity). On Sundays, we gather corporately (main\u00a0service and Sunday School: Equipping) and then we scatter into small communities (small groups &amp; fellowships).\u00a0Join a small group for the sake of the Gospel, for the welfare\u00a0of the city and to the Gospel visible by displaying Christ as a local church body.<\/p><p>Because Jesus Christ Lives,<br \/>Pastor Gary Lee<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-5392\" aria-expanded=\"false\">College Small Group<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-5392\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-5392\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><h4><strong>College Small Group<\/strong><\/h4><p>Category: college students<br \/>Time: every Wednesday at 6:30pm<br \/>Meeting place: Raleigh Chinese Christian Church\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>If you are interested in joining this small group, you may contact\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Caleb Xu or Jed Huang,<\/strong>\u00a0or you can fill in a welcoming card so that we can reach out to you!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-5393\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Marriage Small Group<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-5393\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-5393\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><h4><strong>Marriage Small Group<\/strong><\/h4><p>Category: young families<br \/>Time: every Friday at 7:30pm<br \/>Meeting place: Raleigh Chinese Christian Church Prayer Room<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>If you are interested in joining this small group, you may contact\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Mike &amp; Amanda Sherwood\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0or you can fill in a welcoming card so that we can reach out to you!<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raleighccc.org\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/am1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p><p>Amanda and Mike Sherwood serve as small group leaders at RCCC. They are also part of the Ministry Resources team.<\/p><p>Born and raised in Nanjing, China, Amanda came to United States for college. It was not until the later years of college that God graciously saved her. After experiencing the grace of God, she realized nothing else matters more than surrendering herself completely to God and serving God humblely and faithfully for His glory. It is truly her belief that \u201cServe the Lord with joy for all He has done for you\u201d.<\/p><p>Amanda graduated from State University of New York with dual degrees in Finance and Accounting, and currently works in Finance. She enjoys traveling, playing piano, and cooking. She also loves to try new places to eat. She has been married to her husband Mike since 2013. This couple met in Buffalo, NY and followed God\u2019s plan to move to NC in 2015. Since then, they have been part of the RCCC family. They previously served in the Buffalo Chinese Christian Church prior to moving to NC and would love to continue serving together as a couple, impacting and growing with others together at RCCC.<\/p><p>God led Amanda and him to meet in Buffalo, NY and later guided them to move to Raleigh. He currently works in Solutions Development (Database Programming) and also runs a Real Estate company back in Buffalo, NY. He feels like serving God is one of the best ways to grow in Him.\u00a0 One of the greatest joys that God has blessed him with is to be able to serve together as a team with his wife Amanda.<\/p><p>In doing so, they encourage others to learn and grow, and to deepen their relationship with their Father. THey would love to meet you, to get to know you, and to share the Good News with you!<\/p><p>For fun, Mike enjoys playing competitive badminton, reading, and building\/tinkering with things.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-5394\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Grace Fellowship Small Group<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-5394\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-5394\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><h4><strong>Grace Fellowship Small Group<\/strong><\/h4><p>Category: families at the age of 45 or above<br \/>Time: every 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month at 7:45pm<br \/>Meeting place: Raleigh Chinese Christian Church Room 139<br \/>Current Materials: Book of Matthew<\/p><p><strong>If you are interested in joining this small group, you may contact Jimmy Luong\u00a0or you can fill in a welcoming card so that we can reach out to you!<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-5395\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Rooted Small Group (Friday)<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-5395\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-5395\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><h4><strong>Rooted Small Group (Friday)<\/strong><\/h4><p>Category: Young Adults\/Working Professionals (20s-30s)<br \/>Time: every Friday at 8:00pm<br \/>Meeting place: various locations (please contact the leaders for more details)<br \/>Current Materials: How People Change by\u00a0Paul David Tripp<span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: italic;\">,<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: italic;\">\u00a0<\/span>Timothy S.
