Seven Functions of Biblical Community (S-E-R-V-I-C-E)

SPIRITUAL FORMATION
As a Biblical Community, we will annually assess our own development in Christ using the Christian Life Profile. We will then confess our areas of struggles to one another and set personal goals for our growth in Christ in the year to come. Through the year, we will share our progress and encourage one another monthly in our pursuit of Christ-likeness.

EVANGELISM
Each household within the Biblical Community will commit to pray for at least three households within their neighborhood using the Five-fold Plan for Prayer Evangelism. As a Biblical Community, we will pray together monthly for our neighbor's personal requests. We will hold one another accountable to prayerfully touch our neighbors quarterly. We desire to win at least one neighbor to Christ each year.

RECREATION
Biblical Communities that recreate together will find opportunity for spontaneous and genuine expressions of Christian beliefs, practices and virtues. Inviting non-believers and unconnected people to these recreational activities can often bridge the gap between isolation and connection.

VOLUNTEERISM
As members of the Biblical Community, we will commit ourselves to support the greater Body of Christ at Good Samaritan United Methodist Church through involvement in the ministries of the church. We will celebrate what God is doing in the greater Body of Christ at Good Samaritan United Methodist Church at least annually.

INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS
As an expression of our desire to share Christ with the world, the Biblical Community will support monthly at least one International Missions Project through increased awareness, participation in, commitment to prayer, or financial contributions.

CARE
The foundation of Biblical Community will be our commitment to care for one another. This will manifest itself in practical help to those in difficult and crisis situations, i.e. hospital or home visits, meal preparation, appreciation, benevolence, prayer, referral to resources, etc.

EXTENDING COMPASSION
In response to the social needs of our community, each Biblical Community will commit to participation in at least four onsite compassion projects as families through the year. Monthly, the Biblical Community will select, prepare for, or celebrate their involvement in their compassion project.
