Community
While we recognize that community has become a "buzz word" of sorts, we still feel that it is what should be the trademark of a gathering of Christians. Christian faith is not a "solo pursuit." According to Jesus, our love for one another should be our distinguishing characteristic. We seek to share our lives with one another and we honestly and openly welcome newcomers.
Community means more than being in the same place at the same time. It means being involved, life upon life. We share life together in formal events and informal ways. We worship together and we engage in work projects together. We care for each other and we care about each other We try to care for those outside our local fellowship as we have opportunity and resource to do so. We believe, deeply, that all people matter because they bear God's image. We do whatever we can to ensure that the image of God in each person is made more evident, more complete.
