Our Values: Togetherness/Whanaungatanga - This Is Us | Sam Barr
from Echo Church NZ · host Echo Church NZ
We describe ourselves as family and whānau, because church is more than a community. The common metaphor used to talk about the people of God in the New Testament is that of brothers and sisters: God is forming us into a loving family. We believe it is in the context of this family of faith and grace that we learn how to follow Jesus more fully. We thrive when we celebrate God’s goodness together, learning how to be like Jesus through the sharing of our journeys.
