Fellowship Goals:
1. In alignment with the vision of "nurturing spiritual life," the following objectives have been established:
a. Church Bible Study: The Bible is imbued with power; it instructs us in doing good; God’s Word is faithful; and it enables us to withstand the Devil. In short, if Christians wish for their spiritual lives to flourish—to become more abundant and to live for Christ—spiritual disciplines are indispensable. These disciplines encompass "spiritual breathing" (prayer) and "spiritual nourishment" (reading the Bible)—the two most fundamental elements of the spiritual life, neither of which can be omitted. Therefore, reading and studying the Bible constitute a vital pathway for cultivating mature Christians.
b. Fellowship gatherings held twice a month, church Bible studies, and the study of the practical application of biblical principles in daily life—specifically addressing the theme of "Excessive Worry."
c. Church Ministry
d. Missions Support: Spreading the Gospel Widely
2. In alignment with the vision of "Caring for the Fellowship Family," the following objectives are established:
a. Families within the Affinity Fellowship: Engaging in various forms of interaction and affinity-building activities within the fellowship.
b. Holiday Gatherings / Meals / Outings
c. Discussion on a Fulfilling Life (Career Development, Raising Children)
d. Seminars on Family Finances, Annuities, Taxation, etc. (Church staff may be invited as speakers, if needed.)
3. In alignment with the vision of "focusing on fellowship growth," the following objectives have been established:
