Community
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

Our vision for our community at Anthem Church is to be be grounded in wisdom and truth as we grow together in Jesus. The Scriptures provide important principles and hallmarks to embrace and aim for as we grow together, but there is great freedom in how this important work of mutual growth is accomplished.
With this in mind, our leadership has leaned strongly into Paul’s exhortations to formation in his letter to the Ephesian church, specifically the fourth chapter. Here the apostle paints a picture of a community where members of all ages, properly equipped and unified in Jesus, serve and build one another up, receiving ministry and offering ministry to one another.
We want to be equipped.
We want to do and receive ministry.
We want to be built up and to build up others.
We want to be unified in the faith and knowledge of Jesus.
We want to grow up and mature.
Join us as we journey forward in faith and growth.
