We need to be meaningfully involved in a church in order to fulfill this calling.

What is Christian Community?

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together “Christian community means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. There is no Christian community that is more than this, and none that is less than this. Whether it be a brief, single encounter or the daily community of many years, Christian community is solely this. We belong to one another only through and in Jesus Christ.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together

How does Christian community “happen”?

Establish patterns of mature, godly friendships (heart) Pray together (soul) Learn and apply Bible together (mind) Serve together in mission (strength)
