Relational Rhythms
San Francisco is the second densest city in America and despite being within a mile of almost 20,000 people it often feels lonely. Urban loneliness is more than a myth, for many it's reality. Yet, in our present day we have more tools for communicating than ever before. These tools allow us to have a greater number of connections but often with lesser depth and intentionality. It seems as though it is becoming more and more difficult to truly connect with one another.
It is for this reason IKON chooses to embody three relational rhythms: Triad, Families, and Gathering. It is through these rhythms that we seek to live life together. We do not do this just for ourselves, but for our adversaries, our neighbors, our city, and ultimately the world.
TRIAD | 2 - 6 participants
Triads are a place for you to be known. This is where you share your auto-biography and allow others to speak to the beauty, pain, and hope found in your story. They are the smallest, irreducible unit in the church community.
These are the friends from your Family who know you inside and out and will always tell you the truth. These groups demonstrate editability, encouragement, prayer, and discernment. This is done precisely because the smaller environment allows for greater transparency than can be practiced in a larger group setting.
Each group has the freedom and flexibility to create their own sacred space for connecting with one another and with God. Our hope is that the Triad settles into a rhythm of gathering together weekly to realize a greater relational connectedness.
