Two friends hugging after a Sunday gathering

Community Life

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 13:34, 35

Community
Foundations.

TFAB provides more than just a place to gather on a Sunday morning; we strive to also be a place for community, friendship, and connection to take place! Jesus expects us to be community-driven in our discipleship.

Jesus invites us to understand that Christian discipleship is all of life and he invites us to participate by following Him.

As we personally respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ in faith; we are also called to a body, a family, and a community. Therefore our desire to connect and relate with one another is motivated by Jesus and following Him!

And that is what the church is all about: relationship– with God and with one another. It is our great privilege and our great responsibility to engage in such relationships! At TFAB, one of the many opportunities to cultivate and develop such relationships is in our Community Groups.
