Random Acts of Kindness Build Relationships

A two-year-old congregation in the Atlanta suburb of Covington, Ga., decided earlier this year to engage its community through random acts of kindness for 40 days.

Grove Pointe Church attendees paid for groceries and fast-food for strangers in lines behind them, provided meals for the elderly, gave flowers to medical staff in town and took several other simple steps to build relationships with people in the area.

Gospel-Centered Parenting

The newness that comes as a result of new birth in Christ trickles down into every area of life, including our parenting.

Right Gear, Right Time

Keeping the gospel central is what keeps a church healthy and growing, not extravagant AVL productions.

It Takes Everyone

When every member shares the work, the whole body is better for it.
