  • If you and your church were to disappear off the face of the earth tomorrow, would anyone in the community around you notice you were gone? And if the community did even notice would they say 'we are really glad they are gone', or 'we are really going to miss them'?

  • Everyone says they want community and friendship. But mention accountability or commitment to people, and they run the other way.
