Gospel Communities
Helping each other believe and apply the gospel in every area of life
Church is a family. A Gospel Community (GC) is a place where you can experience that reality. We extend grace, speak truth, deal with conflict, meet needs, and invite others in. Our groups meet throughout the week and across the city. Anyone is welcome, any time. It’s a wonderful mess, in the way that families often are, but we are learning to love one another as Jesus loved us.

The Bennett GC
Jamie & Katie Bennett
One thing you should know about our group: our dinner game is on point! We strongly believe that a robust and full bodied Bible study pairs well with an aromatic and hearty meal. Our group is a pretty diverse community built around solid friendship that gathers each week to talk about how the truth of God’s Word intersects with our actual lives.

The Buter & Amaya GC
Bryan Buter & Angela Amaya
Come hungry—for dinner and for community. Our group believes the Tuesday night meeting is just one portion of the GC experience and encourages group gatherings throughout the week and on weekends—whether at restaurants, porches, pickleball courts or community outreach projects. The Sunday service and Tuesday discussion fill us up with the gospel and propel us into the week and into the community. We are energetic, active (sometimes loud), and love supporting each other as we learn more about our great God and how He is working in our lives and in the lives of our neighbors.

Marat & Ophelia Chafigoulline
The Chafigoulline GC is one of the oldest at Providence, both in terms of how long it’s been around, as well as the average age of the people in it. It is a mix of of singles and families, with kids ranging in age from 6-19 years old. Since getting that many families together every week is pretty challenging, we meet weekly in men’s and women’s small groups, mostly in the SW area of Austin. We aim for depth in our time together and focus on the challenges and joys of living out the gospel with our families. In terms of our mission, the group’s focus has been on building gospel bridges with our neighbors, as well as serving families who are pursuing foster care and adoption.

One of the most distinguishing characteristics of of our GC is diversity. From our age range, backgrounds, vocations, to life stages, we are all quite different. Though we’re different in many ways, we are the same in our commitment to genuine community and our relentless pursuit of the gospel. We work together to take care of each other and have seen God come through in mighty ways over the past 3 years. Needless to say, we are not without flaw and sometimes like to settle things the ole fashioned way, with an arm wresting match!

Come and join us down South—it’s a great time. Food, activities, fellowship, occasional silliness—we love hanging out. Our GC is so much more than just a once a week bible study. We want to be friends, show up to each other’s kids soccer games, and serve our community. We try to take the weekly sermon as a starting point for full and deep conversation to love one another and hopefully make an impact on the neighborhoods we live in.
