Transformed in a Community

“Our transformation is worked out within
the family of God. This is not
necessarily the simpler way:
being involved with other people can be
inefficient, complicated, and time consuming.

So many things can go wrong in relationships. But this is why community is such a BIG part of God’s plan to
transform us into the image of Christ…

As isolated individuals, we cannot reach the level of
maturity that God has designed for us. This fullness happens
as we live in a loving, redemptive community with one another,
as we struggle together, and
as we grow together.”
