How to Pray

Why Meet in Community as a Group? Can’t I Grow Close to God by Solitary Prayer and Study?

We believe humans are made for relationship, and that we grow in community, not as isolated individuals. We learn to love each other by being with a wide variety of people, not simply those most like “me” or “us.” That’s why we gather for worship. Jesus promised that whenever we do so, he would be right there with us even if we do not know it. So we live in the tension of learning to love in community and carrying that love with us into our daily lives.
