building community

As LifePoint gets close to being three months old, it's been amazing to see how God has nurtured a growing sense of community.

It shows up before and after our worship gatherings. It shows up during our weekly LifeGroups. It shows up in coffee shops, over lunches, and around living rooms. It shows up in the level of caring that blows me away. It shows up when people open their homes to people they didn't know several months ago.

One of the greatest opportunities in starting a new church is to build into it a healthy DNA. Over time, this DNA replicates itself. If the DNA is healthy, that's good thing; if it's toxic ...

We certainly spent time during our pre-launch days teaching about biblical community. But now we're seeing it happen!
