Reflections on 12/3 Class

As we come to the end of the quarter and our study in this class, I cannot help but reflect on the power of relationships in the continual growth and creative progress of the church. Although the concept seems self-evident, I don't think that we can ever give the issue too much attention. Our class and our interactions with one another, in dialogue and in discernment together, have fleshed out for me the vital necessity of genuine community in all aspects of church planting and renewal. I am thankful for what I have learned from my fellow classmates and from Ryan and for how our work together has taught me both to listen and reflect and to engage create.
