STRENGTH IN NUMBERS: BUILDING A STRONG CHURCH COMMUNITY

Welcome to VIVA Church’s Sunday Service! Join us for an inspiring message from our Family Pastor, Pr. Valdir Felicio, as we explore the theme: “STRENGTH IN NUMBERS: BUILDING A STRONG CHURCH COMMUNITY.” In a world where many feel isolated, the power of community becomes even more significant. Drawing from Luke 15:8-9 and Matthew 16:18b, we’ll discuss how a united church, where each individual finds purpose and belonging, can withstand any challenge.

In 2024, we’ve already witnessed incredible growth as people have accepted Jesus, many are been baptized, and more are preparing for their baptism. But numbers are just the beginning. Our greatest challenge lies in transforming these new additions into strong, spiritually thriving members of the VIVA family. We’ll dive into Acts 4:32-35, reflecting on the early church’s spirit of unity and generosity, and Psalm 1:3, focusing on how individuals can flourish when deeply rooted in God’s community.

At VIVA, we believe that building a strong church means more than just gathering on Sundays. It’s about experiencing God’s presence, catching the VIVA vision, and growing together. Whether through attending services, joining Next Steps, participating in Growth Track, or connecting in a Small Group, there are countless ways to engage and become a vital part of our family. As 1 Peter 4:10 and Romans 12:4-6 remind us, every person has unique gifts that can bless the community. Together, let’s create a church where every individual fulfills their God-given purpose, making VIVA a place where the gates of hell shall not prevail!
