Andy Fuqua | Tags: Discipleship, Fellowship Biblical community is an important element of Connection Groups. Fellowship with other believers is essential to spiritual growth. However, we must not make the communal aspect of fellowship all-important. We need to remember that the basis of our fellowship is a partnership in the gospel. In order to multiply disciples, we sometimes must value discipleship over friendship.

Our Connection Groups center around and are focused on Jesus… we're all about Jesus! Helping your group understand who Jesus was/is is one of the best ways you can encourage younger believers in your group to grow spiritually. Here are some basic truths about Jesus.
Andy Fuqua | Tags: Biblical Community, Discipleship We have adjusted the wording of our definition of Connection Groups to more closely match some core values recently defined for our church by the pastors and elders. A Connection Group is a small group, usually around 6 - 14 people, who pursue discipleship together in biblical community.
The words are a little different but the concept is the same. For a picture of biblical community, take a look at the last half of Galatians 5, the famous fruit of the Spirit passage.
