"The only thing that counts," wrote the Apostle Paul, "is faith expressing itself through love" (Galatians 5:6). In other words, genuine faith is lived out in community. Coming together relationally around the Word of God in order to learn, grow, share, and serve is at the heart of who we are. This happens best in small groups.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING CONNECTED
We need each other. God designed his church this way. The Spirit has gifted every believer "for the common good" (1 Corinthians 12:7). That means God's grace works in and through our lives, as we stay connected to Jesus and to each other. We're better when we're together.
