What's it all
about?
A Christian Community's primary aim is to help people live out God's
purpose for their lives, within a community of Christians. This is
an opportunity for tertiary students in Albury-Wodonga to live in
such a community, including:-
-
A Common
Life. The students share a house together, building
relationships, supporting each other
-
Learning.
The community will seek to learn about the Gospel and the
integration between faith, life and mission through regular
bible study (in addition of course to their tertiary study!!)
-
Prayer and
Spirituality. The members of the community make a commitment
to regular prayer and worship, both individually and
collectively.
-
Opportunities for Mission. The community will act in
response to God's call to mission, seeking out directions for
this work in appropriate ways.
