<p>A practical guide for those struggling to build a community of believers in a culture that wants to experience belonging over believing</p> <p>Who is my neighbor? Who belongs to me? To whom do I belong? These are timeless questions that guide the church to its fundamental calling. Today terms like neighbor, family, and congregation are being redefined.
