Fellowship Goals:
1. In alignment with the vision of "nurturing spiritual life," the following objectives have been established:
-
- Scripture Study: The Bible is powerful; the Bible teaches us to do good; God’s Word is trustworthy; the Bible enables us to resist the devil. In short, for Christians to thrive in their spiritual lives and make their lives more abundant, to live for Christ, spiritual cultivation is essential. This includes spiritual breathing through prayer and spiritual eating through reading the Bible; these are the two most fundamental things in spiritual life that cannot be lacking. Therefore, reading the Bible/Scripture study is an important way to cultivate mature Christians.
