10 Articles on Building Community
Building community has been at the heart of my mission for a very long time. I can't imagine my life without it. I cannot imagine the loneliness of so many who don't have what we have.
I know that when I do the percentage connected calculation there are many, many people in my church that have no one to turn to when tough times come. They have no one to celebrate life's wonderful moments and no one to weep with them when life is hard. Unconnected people are always one tough thing away from never being at our church again.

I know all of this about my church. And I know it about your church too.
Therefore I press on with my mission.
