Definition:

A church where people experience fellowship with the Lord and with each other.

Our Desire:

That the fellowship that we have with the Lord will be experienced in our relationships among each other.

We want to:

• Share our life with others
• Deal with each other as lovingly as Jesus has dealt with us
• See beyond our faults to recognize God’s work and potential in the other person

Bible Verses:

John 13:35 "By this, all people will know you are my desciples, if you have love for one another."

1. Thessalonians 2:8 "So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us."

Acts 2:42.44 "And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. … And all who believed were together and had all things in common."

1. Peter 4:10 "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace."

Our Practice:

• Promoting small-group structures in the church where true community is possible
• Learning to live with diversity and conflict
• Developing friendships with believers and non-believers
• Staying open to include others into fellowship
