Connecting Well
Belonging takes time and investment. So we would like to encourage you with a few tips.
GET TO KNOW THE PEOPLE
- Come early and stay late after worship gatherings to talk with others. Find out what it is that they enjoy about this community.
- Go out to lunch or dinner with others.
- Visit a Community Group to get to know folks.
- Invite others into your home.
- Take advantage of other events offered (classes, fellowship events, and other special events)
GET INVOLVED
Healthy relationships are always reciprocal.
If you feel like you are receiving from this church, look for opportunities to give back (serve on a ministry team), commit to a community group or ministry, and attend our other discipleship classes. Your personal involvement and investment will create a sense of personal ownership and deepen feelings of meaningful connection and belonging.

TAKE CARE OF PAST RELATIONSHIPS
How you leave one season of your life will greatly affect how you enter the next.
If you left another church, please discuss with a pastor or leader any areas of pain or disappointment with your former church, if applicable. Be willing to go back (if necessary) and talk with your former pastor/leader(s) to resolve any outstanding issues. If possible, try to keep the door open relationally so you can return for functions, weddings, etc. Forgive any offenses and release them to the Lord.

EXTEND GRACE
No church is perfect, but we do strive to be a healthy community of faith focused on the Gospel, community, and mission of Jesus. We want to extend grace, mercy, and love to all ENCS guests, attenders, and members.
Whether you are called to belong to this church family for many years, or for a season while in school or particular career, we ask you for that same grace from you. As leaders we seek to be approachable and open. We invite feedback, questions, and open dialogue about anything in our community.
