As one called into the path of discipleship, you are called into community (Koinonia). It’s a community of more than simply presence or intellectual assent, but it’s one of owner-ship and activity. It’s a community that can be miraculous, messy and even dangerous! So how does such a community work and how, once within such a community, can the disci-ple continue his or her journey?
LOVE! That’s right, not only did Jesus give this as a new command for his followers, but he told them love of God and humanity formed the foundation of all other commands (Matthew 22:40)!
This Sunday we’ll be looking closely at that new command, and exploring what love might truly look like within our Koi-nonia. Join the conversation, join the community, and join us as we learn to better love God and one another!
Pastor John Martin
“A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
John 13:34
What We Believe
...the living core of the Christian faith is revealed in scripture, illumined by tradition, vivified in personal experience, and confirmed by reason.
...the one God we worship exists fundamentally within a com-munity of the three persons of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
…God’s son, Jesus, came to live among us as fully divine and fully human. His life, death, and resurrection points to and fulfills the good news of the freedom from sin and death, which we proclaim.
...we share one mission with Christians throughout time, to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
...it is into community (koinonia) that we have been called to coexist and through this community that we are able to truly manifest the body of Christ.
…wherever you are on your journey, we are here for one another!
“In Essentials Unity, In Non-Essentials Liberty, In All Things Charity.”
~Rupertus Meldenius (1627)
