In Community:

1. We Do Life Together - We can’t grow in isolation like we can in Community. God has adopted us into His family and desires that we do life together in godly community. Because of that, we are intentional in investing in relationships with other believers. We encourage and support one another through the ups and downs of life. We serve God by serving each other, and by serving others together. We experience more of the “abundant life” in community, because life is better together.

2. We Grow In Christ Together - Since we are called by God to be disciples who make disciples, we foster a culture of growing together in our faith in Christ, in our understanding of God’s word and how we apply it, and we encourage one another to live our lives for Jesus to the fullest. Whether it is in a home Bible discussion group, or in a shared interest or activity group setting, the goal is to encourage one another to know God better and to make Him known to the world.

3. We Seek & Serve God Together - Jesus implied that there is a special manifestation of His presence when we gather together as His people (Matthew 18:19-20). We will make space in our gatherings to pray for one another and others, to give God thanks and praise, and to invite Jesus to be at the center of all we do. We will also look for ways to use our Community Groups to be a witness for Jesus in our local community, so that we shine His light as we represent Him wherever we gather in His Name. (John 13:35)
