Purpose — Three Foundational Expressions: Intentional Community John 13

For God’s glory, we exist to develop a community of disciple-makers. 1— We have one unique identity. In Christ, through His gospel, we acknowledge our “nothingness” without Him—and our uniqueness in Him. 2— We accomplish our purpose via two vital connections. Vertical - God to Man and Man to God Missional – Person to Person from Neighborhood to Nations 3—We build these connections upon three foundational expressions. Authentic Worship Intentional Community Sacrificial Ministry Purpose

Christian community consists of… The people of God—those who are created by faith through His gospel (1 Pet. 2:9-10) The body of Christ—those who are members of one another in His life (Gal. 6:10) The fellowship of the Spirit—those who are a model of His future (Eph. 1:13-14) We are profoundly interdependent!

Which picture best represents your understanding of church? or Church as a segment of a person’s life… Church as persons-in-community…

Christian community is built as we… Affirm one another—learn how to be friends. Share with one another—learn how to be family. Serve one another—learn how to be servants.
