Questions About Community

Community

Questions about belonging, relationships, and living life together as followers of Jesus.

From the beginning of Scripture, people were created for relationship—not only with God, but with one another. Biblical community is more than attending a gathering or joining a group. It's about learning to love, serve, encourage, forgive, and grow together as we participate in God's mission.
