We explore how real church community forms beyond Sunday, why accountability grows best in small circles, and how to stay on mission with friends outside the church while staying rooted in fellowship. Practical next steps include text groups, coffee meetups, mentors, and creating simple on-ramps for belonging.
• defining church as a community of believers, not a building
• practicing the one anothers through fellowship and small groups
• balancing mission friendships with a strong church anchor
• moving from content consumption to relational connection
• organic accountability that feels like care, not policing
• finding a Paul, investing in a Timothy, welcoming a Barnabas
• simple starts: coffee, texts, weekly breakfasts, shared meals
• giving space for the Holy Spirit through consistent presence
• invitation to gather locally and build weekly rhythms
If you're in Rockdale on a Sunday, come on by. We do coffee and donuts and fellowship at 10 o'clock and service starts at 11:30. We have a nursery, we have children's church, and we'll be at the American Legion Hall right now in Rockdale. So come join us if you get a chance.
