Transformed within Community
Partners, Journeying Together
Spiritual practices are personal, but our journey is meant to be shared. Building friendships and community is a key part of our spirituality. Becoming more like Jesus allows God to shape us within our spiritual family and daily activities. This ongoing realization that we are God's children transforms our thoughts and helps us accept God's love. While faith is personal, living it out requires a community for healing and growth.
Community, accountability, and spiritual leadership are essential. Spiritual practices in a local church help us work better with God in His Kingdom. These practices are carried out within the church community and then shared with the surrounding community, where we can have an impact.
We learn best by observing others. Before starting, we need to know what to do and how to do it. The local church teaches us and helps us teach others about Jesus. It also keeps us safe from potential dangers and helps us avoid mistakes and falsehoods.
