Relating to each other

We want to be intentional about community. Real friendships. Family. We encourage anyone we come into contact with towards discipleship in community, and away from being lukewarm. Jesus challenged people who were lukewarm believers. So everyone who calls themself a Jesus follower and is in isolation and not in any kind of small group (we call them grow groups) or mid-size group (we call them clusters) will keep on being challenged about that.

Jesus created your heart to need community, so you could know and be known, love and be loved, serve and be served, celebrate and be celebrated with, care and receive care. You won’t know the full extent of how great following Jesus is until you join in small group community. We don’t say that because we don’t think you’re busy already – just because it really is the best way to follow Jesus, in little tribes who love each other.
