We grow in community when we see ourselves not only as individuals loved by God but as part of His people, connected and shaped by the gospel together (Isaiah 6:1–13, Romans 12:9–21).

Spiritual growth happens best through intentional relationships and rhythms that help us live out the way of Jesus with others, which is why we encourage everyone to take a step into community.

Community can take many shapes. It might be a class, a group around a table, serving on a team, or attending church with friends. What matters is choosing to lean in. We grow when we allow ourselves to be known and when we commit to knowing others.

Below are some ways to start. Consider what fits your season and take a step toward belonging.
