Through the gospel we gain a new community, a new family of deep friendship with brothers and sisters in Christ who come from all walks of life. We grow in Christ and put his love on display as we open up our lives to participate in community that’s built upon grace, The church is not a meeting you attend, it is a network of relationships you belong to—relationships that share a common confession and mission. As we do life together in community, with God’s Word at the center, disciples are made. Jesus changes us and uses us. He shrinks our pride and surfaces our gifts. We come to see that all people stand on equal ground at the foot of the cross, giving us a freeing humility that welcomes the messy and glorious work of church community. Our model for community is our Triune GodFather, Son, and Spirit who have eternally enjoyed loving, servanthearted community.
