Fellowship

FELLOWSHIP IS ABOUT LOVING RELATIONSHIPS 

There is a highly significant relationship between the ability of a church to demonstrate love and its long-term growth potential.  Growing churches possess a
measurably higher "love quotient" than stagnant or declining ones.

The "love quotient" is determined by such things as: how much time church members spend with one another outside of church sponsored events; how often they invite one another over for meals or a cup of coffee/tea; how generous the church is in doling out compliments; to what extent are the members aware of the personal problems of others in the church; and how much laughter there is in the church (a very significant factor!).

Unfeigned, practical love has a divinely generated magnetic power far more effective than evangelistic programs which depend almost entirely on verbal communication.  People do not want to hear us talk about love; they want to experience how Christian love really works.
