Citizens of God’s kingdom prioritize fellowship of the Body. Fellowship is tied to walking in God’s light: “If we walk in the light … we have fellowship with one another” (1 John 1:7). Biblically, “fellowship” comes from the Greek koinonia, meaning partnership and shared life. The earliest believers devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer (Acts 2:42). They met daily, shared meals in homes with sincere joy, and God added new believers day by day (Acts 2:46–47).
When a new member is added to our fellowship, we rejoice. It’s an occasion that should be marked by a celebration.

[In March,] we were blessed to officially welcome 10 new members to GC Steele Creek. Through a ceremony called the Right Hand of Fellowship, we affirmed our unity in Christ. With every person the Lord adds, he reveals who he has ordained GC Steele Creek to be. We thank God for the beautiful image that is emerging.
