Fellowship Groups

We need each other. In person. Books and conferences have their place; our association adds value to our churches because our pastors are committed to walking together with each other through the difficulties of pastoring. “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 ESV)! 

In other words, we are family, and family sticks together. God has given us each other as a gift. We devote ourselves to the ministry of paraklésis, which means “to call to one’s side; to summon, encourage, admonish, entreat” (1 Timothy 4:13). As a band of brothers we pray for each other, and hold each others’ arms up when the other is weary.
