The Gospel of Jesus Christ not only brings salvation to individuals but it also creates a new group of people: the Church.  To be ‘In Christ’ (united with Jesus by faith) means that we are also ‘In Community’ (united to all who are also united with Jesus).  Being a follower of Jesus and being a part of His body, the Church, are inseparable.  

While this is true, it is also true that we live in a culture of hyper-individualism.  A world in which the self is increasingly the measure of what is true, right, and good.  Belong is a series in which we discover what it means to truly be a part of the people of God and how that belonging both challenges and strengthens us as individuals.
