In the Bible in Acts chapter two, followers of Jesus knew that deep, authentic relationships were vital to their spiritual growth. This early church formed a community: they ate together, worshiped together, shared their belongings—in essence, they did life together. As a result, they grew stronger in their relationships with God and with one another, and people were drawn to investigate Christianity because of the loving relationships these believers had.
At Sonlight, we take biblical community seriously, too. Sonlight’s small group ministry offers a variety of groups where you can experience the same elements of community as those experienced by early believers. Grow your relational bandwidth and deepen your connection with God by joining a group or gathering that's just right for you.
It's always about building relationships and taking next steps in your journey toward Christ.
