What makes a Community?

We all know that a community revolves around a group of people that share common values. Although this is part of it, we also have to think about - what makes a community successful? In order build a strong community, it requires having a group of people that are willing to support one another to be connected as a whole. It also requires a set of goals that everybody wants to strive for. By being a part of a church community, I realized that it takes more than one individual to make a difference. Everything centers on being able to work together along with having a passion for what you’re doing to make something happen. For instance, having a routine to attend church every Sunday shows consistency. It says that you’re putting in an effort to contribute something to the community by participating. As a youth group leader of my church, I find it rewarding to be able to work with the diversity of people that help each other grow spiritually and bring the words of Christ to our society. The worship events that we have at church also play an important role in gathering the community together for us to have the opportunity to have fellowship with one another. I'm very glad to be a part of this wonderful church community.
