• We are created with the craving and need for community.
• From the beginning of time, God is about community.
  • From creating community to redeeming community.
• Rather than church planters we should see ourselves as community builders.
  • Maybe some of the questions we battle with aren’t really all that important.
    • Contemporary vs. Traditional
    • House Church vs. Church Structure

How do we create a church of community creators?

1. Every person in our church has to experience community.
   • Can people experience community in your church?
2. You have to permit people to create community.
3. You need to challenge people to co-create community.
   • Never create community alone.
4. You need to celebrate community.
   • Celebrate both big & small.

The Church should BE the community.
