Loving God naturally leads us love others.
John 13:34-35, “As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Loving God and loving people – you can’t have one without the other. And because we’re so convinced of this, we invite every follower of Jesus into life-changing, transformational relationships. Community Groups, we believe, are our best shot at helping people experience these kinds of relationships.
One of our goals at Grace Crossing is to have 70 percent of our members in Community Groups to experience and grow in this atmosphere of loving others. Area church leaders and research on community involvement in the local church have shown that this number would be way above average. We believe God wants us to shatter the research and percentages and refuse to be satisfied until we see every one of our members in a community group of some kind.
If you haven’t experienced real community, start praying for God to prepare your heart for this transformation and seek out one of our ministries to become involved in. God is calling some of you to not only join a group, but also to lead one.
