The covenant community is to reflect diversity and variety – not uniformity.

People are longing to be accepted for what they are and for belonging, – being a part of a community. We are social beings – created in the image of the social Triune God. It is not good for people to be alone. We are all created for community. True friendship, fellowship and community are the hallmark of the covenant people of God

God is making originals not copies – we are not to be clones of anybody! God loves variety – he loves a manifold expression of his wonderful nature and character.

Every human person is unique. Each person reflects a unique part of the glory of God

What we can be together is greater than the sum of what each one of us can do or be on our own. In the community we are enlarged and complemented, and we find fulfilment in serving one another – we belong! The purpose of God can only be fulfilled through a corporate body of people.

The covenant community is colourful like the rainbow. There is a great variety of spiritual gifts. God’s purpose is to show his wisdom in its rich variety – show his colourful wisdom – to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms.

When Jews and Gentiles, Norwegians and Indians, Americans and Africans, Men and Women, young and old, are joined together in a colourful, covenant relationship, then the covenant community is a prophetic sign to the world.
