As a church we are called to have deeper relationships with each other, and to teach and call each other higher (Matthew 28:18-20).

The Bible nearly always talks of disciples. Therefore some people call these relationships "discipling" relationships. Others would argue this word as an verb is not in the Bible, and may call them mentoring or small group relationships. Here in Limassol we often use the word "deeper" relationships, since this accurately describes the intention, and matches our theme of 2013.

The word itself however does not matter. It is what we do which is far more important.

Nor is about structures. It is about relationships!!!

Lets keep it simple. Lets love each other! Here in Limassol we actually have natural small groups by gender and language, so we have ample opportunity to make and keep those relationships deep.

This is the biblical standard to which we are called. Lets keep going DEEPER!

"To know where we are going we have to know where we are coming from...."

This applies on a personal level, and also on a church level. Even as a church we have a history which helps us understand and frame where we are going next. 

This video documents the history of the International Churches of Christ of which we are part.
