In this teaching, we discuss the concept of resilient community and discipleship. We envision a community that is not fragmented, tattered, or tired. We believe in learning to be Christians who are not afraid of work and who value gathering together in community centered on Jesus. We honor all stages of life and celebrate every season and stage. We reject comparison and competition and champion and celebrate others. We grow interconnected by being known and knowing others, and by needing and being needed by others.
