Community: Built to Belong

Aug 31, 2025    Jeremy Mignerey

Biblical community is essential for spiritual growth, not an optional add-on to faith. Acts 2 shows the early church devoted to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer together. Community provides accountability, encouragement, burden-sharing, and mission focus that isolation cannot. Science confirms humans are designed for connection, with isolation negatively impacting physical and mental health. To engage in true community, believers must consistently show up, serve others, and join smaller groups where deeper relationships can form. Like coastal redwoods that intertwine roots to withstand storms, Christians need each other to stand strong.
