LOVE GOD. LOVE EACH OTHER. SERVE THE WORLD.
Followers Of Christ, United in Spirit
The purpose of our FOCUS groups is to provide an opportunity for people to actively love each other while learning what it means to love God. FOCUS groups meet in homes and are made up of 8-15 members. They meet at various times during the week, but most of them meet on weeknights. We are always trying to start new groups that will fit people’s schedules and needs.
Significance of FOCUS
Paul encouraged the Christians in Rome to follow Christ with a spirit of unity and our hope is that FOCUS groups will do the same.
- Followers – We are followers of Christ, walking in His footsteps (1 John. 2:6).
- Of – Webster’s defines “of” as “belonging to,” and as Christians we belong to Christ (Romans 1:6).
- Christ – Jesus is the Christ the Son of the living God (Mathew 16:16).
- United in – We are united in Christ together (Philippians 2:1-5).
- Spirit – The spirit of God lives in us (1 John 4:13).
