Got Community?
By Curt DeGraaff | Pastor of Young Adult Ministries |
We live in an insular, walled-off world. Out with the front porch and in with the backyard deck. So many people do not really know their neighbors—and frankly are afraid to connect with them. We are acquainted with many but known by none—drifting alone on a sea of humanity.
To be honest, the same thing could be said of many people in our church. With God’s help, we must break the mold of isolationism and return to the biblical model of community.
We believe that one of the primary tools for doing that is small groups. Small groups may look different to different people, but the essentials of Word-based transparent fellowship are common to all who use scripture as their template.
How about you? Do you really know that person who sits next to you in the pew or in your ABF? Are you willing to risk opening up so that you can grow in Christ—and they can grow, too?
Today, we are asking for those of you who are interested—and not already connected—to indicate your willingness to discuss the potential of joining a small group. Please email us the following information (see below) and give us a chance to visit with you about this. While it will be difficult to meet all the needs of every desire expressed (please be patient with us), we will evaluate the requests and do our best to start appropriate new groups. Thanks for your prayerful consideration.
Yes! I’m interested in joining a small group
