God designed us for communion—not only with Him, but with one another—and community is not an optional addition to the Christian life; it is part of who we are as the Body of Christ. Each of us has been uniquely created and carries something from God that is meant to encourage, strengthen, sharpen, and help meet the needs of others. Though authentic community requires intentionality, humility, patience, forgiveness, and perseverance, it is one of the ways God shapes us to look more like Jesus and teaches us to carry one another’s burdens. We pray that as we move forward together, may our love for God be expressed through our love for people, creating a community that reflects His heart, His nature, and His presence.
