We believe that Hub City Church is the group of people that make up our church, not the building we meet in. Therefore our goal has never been to bring the people of Albany to a church, but rather, to bring the church to the people of Albany. Hub Communities are one of the ways we accomplish this.

Hub Communities are smaller gatherings of 10 to 20 people meeting in homes all throughout our city, all throughout the week. It is kind of like a family who meets together regularly to share life deeply. You don’t have to believe what we believe or think how we think to be a part. Simply come as you are with your questions, doubts, convictions, baggage, and an appetite. Each week we eat a meal together, but other than that, we tend to change things up. We may spend the evening wrestling with a passage from the Bible. Sometimes we will have discussions about life and faith. We might throw a party. We serve one another and we serve our neighbors. Whatever we are doing, we are all about relationships – our relationships with God, our relationships with one another, and our relationships with Albany. We want to grow in these relationships, and we believe that this is a central piece of discipleship (becoming more like Jesus).

Jesus told his followers, “Go and make disciples,” and we take that command seriously. Here’s the deal: this happens better in circles than it does in rows. Whether eating, praying, reading, debating, listening, sharing, partying, serving, or whatever else we may do in a Hub Community, we believe these communities are the truest form of what Jesus has called us to, and thus, they are a vital expression of our church.

At Hub City we try and filter everything through the lens of send, gather and serve. Hub Communities are an expression of all three of those values, we gather together in smaller communities and then are sent to serve each other and our greater community.
