Catherine and Mateo attended the same community group for a few years before finding each other. Mateo proposed to Catherine on the Springs Church stage during service. They have 5 children, 5 grandkids and 2 dogs. After being ministered to in a community group, they're leaving the comfort of their 'nest' to give back to the body. Their heart is to "do life together" with others and provide a safe haven where the body of Christ can fellowship, heal, grow and become healthy members of the community.

The Sherrills and Thrustons are empty nesters that have over 66 years of marriage between us. Being in Christian community is so important and we love to spend time with people, getting to know their stories and growing in our faith together. As a community group we value the opportunity to share in God’s word together and pray for each other. Our group meets on Tuesday evenings at 6:30pm, in the Monument/Northgate area. We share a meal together and then meet to discuss the sermon and pray for one another.

*Please email leaders for location. We alternate between Monument and N. Colorado Springs.

Our names are Brett and Linnea Rubbico, and we’ve been attending Springs Church regularly since 2018. The Community Group vision the Lord has laid on our hearts is to focus on young adults. Through our combined experience, knowledge, and wisdom we feel a prompting to pour into those who are at a life stage of maturing in the Lord and perhaps have special callings. Dealing with issues and pressures as a young adult can be at times down right daunting. We desire to create a bonding space of prayer, worship, love, friendship, and safety. Additionally, evangelism is strongly on our hearts, we want to encourage and participate regularly in the Great Commission sharing with others the love of Jesus together as a community group. Please be welcome to join us as we grow in the love of Christ together.

We have been married since 2006.  Chris has two daughters and a son, and we have 10 grandchildren.  Nannette works at Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) as an Accountant in the Finance Department.  Chris came to America from South Africa in 1993 as a missionary to the Native American Indians and since that time has served in various aspects of ministry for 30 years.  Together we founded a ministry in Atlanta which involved starting and planting home churches throughout the Atlanta area, establishing relationships and building community.  We moved to Colorado in 2018, and the one condition that Nannette had was that we would be eternal tourists and enjoy all that Colorado offers.  We enjoy hiking, biking, visiting all the state parks and anything outdoors.  Our passion is to empower the Body of Christ to greater intimacy with Father God, exalting Jesus through worship, prayer, and restoration.  We believe strongly this can be accomplished in the community groups by transforming lives one heart at a time.  All age groups will enjoy finding a spirit led community group that offers a safe place to fellowship, grow and be family.

Dave and Jen LaLonde have attended Springs Church for the last six years and are passionate about living out their life in Christ to make Jesus known to everyone they meet.

Dave is a Financial Advisor and managing partner at a financial planning firm here in the Springs, and Jen is a dedicated homemaker. When not working or serving at Springs Church, we are hiking, biking, camping, and exploring the beautiful Colorado outdoors.

Shari has a passion to lead a single women's/moms group into a deeper walk with Christ. She is a divorced mother of four grown children and grandmother of five. Shari has a very personal relationship with Jesus and has learned to rely entirely on Him for everything. She has experienced the true healing of Jesus Christ and would love to share her journey of love and contentment with anyone who is ready. 

The Brooks believe true Christian community can’t happen for 15 minutes in the lobby on Sundays. Small home groups are where Christ-followers can walk out their salvation genuinely with other believers. They even met as members of a small home group and married in 2002. When not busy doing mission work, Tez writes for several Christian publications and is a multiple award-winning author, screenwriter, and writing coach. When Christine is not training new missionaries, she co-leads an outreach to international women in Colorado Springs through picnics, teas, and other events.
