What is a Church Community?

I've been thinking about this question lately.

I beleive that, in the future, it'll take more intentionality, but as of today I am starting to answer the question.

Here's what I think a church should look like:
  • It should focus on Jesus
  • Everyone should participate
  • It should meet the needs of the people
  • The people should be active
It should focus on Jesus

God sent his son to be the sacrifice which saves us from the punishment of sin. The church should focus on this and the miracles that we see in our lives because of this.

Everyone should participate

It's a community and everyone has a part. I think it can be as simple as asking and answering questions:

What scripture speaks to you this week? 
Why? 
What has God done in your life this week?
What do you need God to do in your life?
How can we help?

It should meet the needs of the people

All of them. 

The people should be active

Church can only meet so much. You have to apply what God shows you to your life and your actions must reflect it.
