"Just as iron sharpens iron, friends sharpen the minds of each other"Proverbs 27:17 (Contemporary English Version)
"By yourself you're unprotected. With a friend you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn't easily snapped."Ecclesiastes 4:12 (The Message)
Once friendships and relationships are formed, the next step is to begin building community. Community is where spiritual growth can really begin to take place.
Getting connected to other believers is important. We want to encourage new groups to form whenever possible. These groups may meet for Bible Study on a weekly basis, for coffee from time to time or they may gather for special activities from month to month. The key to a successful community is accountability, encouragement and personal growth.
