Give to the church

Writing from the church Belong, become, make an impact: inside the Impact-27 Circle

Community

Every Tuesday at 6:20 PM, adults in their twenties and thirties meet at the church for the Impact-27 Circle. It is a small group built around a plain question: what happens between finishing your twenties and having your life mostly figured out.

Three words, one theme

The circle takes its name from three words: belong, become, make an impact. Belonging comes first. Nobody has to arrive with the right answers or the right resume. Becoming comes next, through teaching, mentoring, and prayer, the ordinary work of growing into who you are meant to be. Making an impact is what that growth is for, serving Lakeland and reaching further than Lakeland with whatever you have learned along the way.

Why a room just for this age

Rhema treats this stretch of adulthood as worth a room of its own, rather than folding it into a youth group on one side or a general adult class on the other. The men's brotherhood, Barbershop Talk, lives by Proverbs 27:17 (KJV): "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." The Impact-27 Circle applies that same idea to a specific decade of life, on a Tuesday evening rather than a Sunday morning.

If you want to come

The Impact-27 Circle meets Tuesdays at 6:20 PM at 3330 Skyview Dr, Lakeland, FL 33801. You do not need to be a member of the church to sit in the first time. If you have a question before you come, send us a message.
