In meaningful community we are called to live and share the good News of Jesus Christ through love and deed, modeling ourselves after Him. We develop meaningful connections with others by growing together, serving each other, praying for one another, and encouraging each other to be the people that God created us to be.
Community is, first of all, a quality of the heart that grows from the realization that we do not live for ourselves but for one another. Community is born from our desire to place the interests of others ahead of our own. The question, therefore, is not, “How can we make community?” But rather, “How can we develop and nurture giving hearts?” (Henri Nouwen).
