How it's used

These groups are often organized by life stage, such as youth, university students, or working adults, and serve as the primary social unit for church members.

Common mistake
Do not use this word for secular social clubs or general gatherings of friends, as it carries a strong religious connotation that would sound confusing or out of place in a non-Christian setting.
