Essential to the Church of the Saviour’s mission group model is the sometimes-lengthy process of discerning a corporate “call,” something that God is clearly drawing that particular group to do together in mission. At Rockridge, one small group within the church began to explore the problem, familiar to many urban churches, of how to maintain a truly indigenous and creative presence within the church’s neighborhood. In 1996, their search led these eleven members to covenant together to create one of the first Christian cohousing communities in the nation.
