Besides taking time to be in the public community, Jesus spent a great amount of time in the community of his friends.  While in this community, his friends were able to ask him questions about the things he taught but they didn't understand.  It was also during these times that Jesus communicated to them how much he loved them.  Besides serving the public community, he served this closer circle of friends too. 

Church really is a community of believers.  It's not the building and it's not the service.  It is the people.  Community building happens when we serve, such as the shelter meals and the park cleanups, but it also happens when we get together during the mid-week groups and the BBQ parties on Saturday night.  Check out the information on our mid-week groups under the ministries section.
