Welcome To Teleios

MATURITY

Teleios is a ministry founded to help men reach maturity in Christ through building bonds of friendship with other men.

We utilize weekly small group meetings, prayer retreats and service opportunities as vehicles for growth and maturity in Christ.

The groups help men bring greater balance to their lives, positively impacting their relationship with Jesus Christ, their family, career, workplace and community.

WHAT DOES TELEIOS MEAN

The Greek word teleios means: Mature or full grown, having arrived at an end or objective. In Mathew 5:48 Jesus says: Ye must be teleioi (masculine plural) as your heavenly Father is teleios (masculine singular).

why participate in a group

BALANCE: To keep stability in our lives, every follower of Christ needs to be involved in a small group like a Sunday school class, a Bible study, or a fellowship group like Teleios. Read More

PERSPECTIVE: Fellowship, or experiencing lives together with other Christian brothers, helps keep a proper perception of our lives. Only in a small group can we experience authenticity, not surface-level chit-chat. Read More

VALUE OF WALKING TOGETHER: It is important to belong to a Church where we can worship every week. We also need a place to integrate our faith. Life is meant to be shared. Read More

how does it work

How do I get involved?

There are two main ways that we help men get involved in a group. We either help him start a group with friends, or we can plug him into an existing group. We currently have over 80 groups in the greater Seattle-Tacoma area.

What is the format?
We do our best to model each group after Act 2:42: “They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”

Most of our groups last 75 to 90 minutes and meet weekly. Each week we spend the first 30 to 40 minutes reading a chapter of scripture and then discussing it. After that we check in with each guy and he has a chance to share what is going on in his life. We finish each weekly gathering with prayer

What is shared?
We talk about everything from home life to work to recreation and spirituality. Each man is encouraged to share at whatever level he is comfortable with.
