Community at Onyx Church

Created &Redeemed forCommunity.

We can only grow to know, love & follow Jesus if we are doing it together.

Life Together

Life Together.

As image-bearers of God, we are both created and redeemed for community.

From Jesus' command to live "at peace with one another" (Mark 9:50) to John's repeated call to "love one another" (1 John 3:11,23; 4:7,11; 2 John 1:5), the entire message of the New Testament is that we can only grow to know, love & follow Jesus if we are doing it TOGETHER.

This means that in addition to our weekly Worship Gatherings, we also spend time building intentional relationships where we can put the gospel into practice and grow as we apply the truth and grace of God's word to the struggles of real life.

Know Jesus
Love Jesus
Follow Jesus Together

Birth through 5th Grade

Onyx Kids

Showing our kids the love of Jesus and teaching them His gospel.

For kids (up to 5th grade), this happens during our Worship Gathering. Every week, a team of committed volunteers pray over, sing with, and teach the Bible to our kids in ways they can understand and respond to (answering LOTS of questions along the way)!

Our goal is to partner with parents in showing our kids the love of Jesus and teaching them His gospel. To do this we use the Brite Curriculum (from Awana).

To ensure a fun and safe learning environment, we divide our classes into:

Nursery

Birth-2 Years

Pre-K

3 Years-5 Years

Elementary

K-5th Grade

18 & Up / Throughout Surprise

Onyx Gospel Communities

Building Gospel-Shaped Community in homes throughout our city.

For all of our Covenant Members & Regular Attenders (18 & up), we host Gospel Communities during the week in homes all around Surprise with the goal of building Gospel-Shaped Community.

To do this, we follow the model given in Acts 2:42 as we "devote ourselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers." As we do, our prayer is that this would result in the fulfillment of Acts 5:42, where "every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus."

Acts 2:42 / The Pattern
"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers."
Acts 5:42 / The Prayer
"Every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus."
