I found these to be help in understanding "community" versus group, team, etc.
Formation
Communities are voluntarily connected in search of genuine and meaningful experiences.
Focus
Communities add qualitative relationships, meaning, and experiences, to the oranization, organism, or movements to which they are connected.
Membership
Communities have no bound membership and people tend to come and go based on their continuing interest in the journey.
Outside Assistance
Communities align with champions or advocates (partners, stakeholders) who come alongside them for the long-term relationship and journey
Recruitment
Communities look for people of passion who want to have fun to bring exciting experiences to community participants and a spiritual strategic journey
Benefits
Communities benefit ministries and congregations by providing more enthusiasim and meaningful relationships with in them.
Style of Work
Communities dialouge, engage in discernment activities and arrive at the best solutions for a particular opportunity or challenge.
Does this sound like the nature of our community?
