When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law. But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ. When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ.
Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some.
I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings. While all Highrock churches share the same five values, we at Highrock on the North Shore wanted to include one more; one that you are certain to experience at each Highrock, even if the others don't codify it quite like we do. Simply put, that's the spirit of: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is worthy of a party. As we yearn for and celebrate His redemption in every area of our lives, He knits us together in love for Him, for each other and for the world.
Today, we get to start the party that will last forever. He will swallow up death forever!
We trusted in him, and he saved us! Let us rejoice in the salvation he brings! I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Bring the best robe and put it on him.
Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. Our logo -- combining an upwardly directed arrow, a house, and a starburst — is representative of the three core aspects of what we are all about: Through corporate worship, community involvement, and personally investing in the lives of one another, we at Highrock hope to be a real reflection of God's love from our spot on the North Shore.

Welcome to Valley Community Baptist Church. We are one church in multiple locations with campuses in Avon and Bristol, CT. We would be honored to have you join us. Sundays at 10 a. Saturdays at 5 p.
Within a truly fraternal community, each member has a sense of co-responsibility for the faithfulness of the others; each one contributes to a serene climate of sharing life, of understanding, and of mutual help; each is attentive to the moments of fatigue, suffering, isolation or lack of motivation in others; each offers support to those who are saddened by difficulties and trials. John Salmon is a licensed psychologist and adjunct faculty member at Carlow University. In its primary mystical component, every authentic Christian community is seen in "itself a theological reality, an object of contemplation". It is from this that the fraternal communion of religious community derives its vigour as sign and instrument. There are thus various kinds of religious community that have been handed down over the centuries, such as monastic, conventual, and active or "diaconal".
