Community Life

We believe that "The church is the new community of disciples sent into the world to proclaim the reign of God and to provide a foretaste of the church's glorious hope." (Confession of Faith, p. 39) We live in a society of fragmented relationships and conflicting demands on our time and other resources. In such a society, the building of a sense of community among church participants requires focused attention. We recognize the need for the continual development of our church family through personal interaction, shared experiences, mutual support, careful discussion of issues, and the development of a common story (identity).
