Relationships

Why is community important? It's simple. When we look at the ultimate example of Godly living, the life of Christ, we see that He chose to be in intimate relationship with people. The Son of God Himself viewed connection with others as so vital that He spent most of His earthly ministry with just twelve men. A small circle- an eternal legacy.

During this three-week series, we will see just how integral family is to the Christian life as we invite you to join life groups or get involved in some way.  It's messy, it's hard, and it's often inconvenient; yet just as Jesus was willing to lay His life down for us, may we too be a people who let go of our own desires in service One to Another. This is the heartbeat of our faith. Your circle may be small, but your surrender will leave an eternal legacy.

Will you say yes?

We are excited to have guest pastor Bryan Collier with
us, lead pastor of The Orchard that’s one of our Foundry Network partners in Tupelo, Mississippi. After teaching at the Men’s Retreat on Friday and Saturday, he will share a message with our entire church family on Sunday! Come learn how you can become courageous in your faith when it is fueled through intimacy with Jesus.

We are family. No matter your age or season of life, God has given you a very special part to play in His church that He calls the body of Christ. Whether you’re the littlest in your family, are learning what skills you have, got a brain for engineering, have a passion for teaching, or apply your gifts in other impactful ways, God has big plans for how He wants to use you.

During this series, we’ll get to see what it looks like to begin a walk with God and train for the journey. It may be full of ups and downs but its just as important as reaching the destination.

What could Asbury look like if we became a church of groups, not simply a church with groups? Discover more about the power of groups in the life of a disciple and how living faithfully in community is what real life together is all about.
