In: Being Community

We believe God has called the Church to be His “body (soma)” in order to make His ways known on earth. Our intentional commitment to unity, humbly bearing with one another with grace and love and in community with one another are the marks of true followers of Jesus. We commit to using our unique gifts and passions to serve one another and to build one another up, thus strengthening the church. We believe that no one walks on this journey alone.

How will you be a part of building community?

Up: What Will You Do?

This month we are discussing our "resolutions" for the year 2010. We were given the challenge to take each of the "Directions" for our community and ask ourselves how we will contribute to these directions this year.

The first direction is "Up".

We affirm the call to “love God with all of our heart, our soul, and our ‘everything’”. We see no separation between the sacred and the secular and want our whole lives to be transformed by our love for God and His ways. We embrace the call to bear His image and to fill the earth with His character. We celebrate the Risen Jesus in our everyday living and believe this is the best life to live.

So how will play out in your life this year?
