Creating a Church Culture

Who do we hope to become? The local church community takes on a
character and culture of its own, but are we intentional about
shaping the people we want to become? Here are some practical
questions to reflect upon as individuals, families and churches about
the culture we are intentionally seeking to create and shape in
ourselves and the lives of those around us:

1) Sharing a life in Christian community, by the grace of God at work
among us, who do we hope to become?
2) How and when will we pray - together, and apart?
3) How will we express our passion for Christ, and our desire to walk
more closely with him, in our work?
4) How will hospitality take shape in our lives individually and
corporately?
5) How will our life together help us fulfill the calling God has
given us?
6) How can our community's life help us commit ourselves ever more
deeply to one another, and so to Christ among us?

Answering these questions will take each of us a long way in creating
a culture at home and together which helps us to become more like
Christ.
