CONNECTING
WITH GOD AND PEOPLE We
gather together in the name of Christ to experience His presence
and power. We also connect with fellow Christians. God never intended
for the Christian life to be lived in isolation. "…and
breaking bread from house to house … with gladness and sincerity
of heart" [Acts 2:46]. We are to stimulate one another to
love and good deeds. [Heb 10:24]
ACCEPTING
AND LOVING ONE ANOTHER
Romans 15:4 instructs us to "accept one another, just as
Christ also accepted us to the glory of God." We come from
different backgrounds, have different opinions about things, and
have different maturity levels. It is Jesus Christ that unites
us as brothers and sisters. The world will know we are Christians
by our love for one another. [Gal 6:10]
REFLECTING
JESUS CHRIST
Every Christian is called to become more conformed to the image
of Jesus each day. God doesn’t leave us the way He found
us. God brings about this change in us by the power of His Spirit
as we apply the Bible to our lives. We speak of the household
of faith being God's church. Care Groups actively minister to
strengthen family relationships. The Care Group is where spiritual
leadership within the family is developed for this and the next
generation(s) [1 Tim 3:1ff]. Our focus includes building a Biblical
World View into children, preparing them for the time when God
will raise them up as future leaders. This household focus provides
unparalleled encouragement to singles, single parents, widows
and widowers, by endeavoring to provide a biblical model of the
household.
EXTENDING
GOD’S KINGDOM BY SHARING THE GOSPEL We
are known by the fruit we bear. We are called to be salt and light
in the community, to be ambassadors, holding out hope for those
providentially brought into our paths. Care Groups practice our
readiness to share the gospel, individually and as households.
1 Peter 3:16. Care Group members pool resources for ministry opportunities
that might otherwise be disregarded. Ministry of Mercy is much
needed and is a unique calling of the church through the Care
Group.
