"Today we need small bands of people who take the gospel at face value, who realize what God is doing in our time, and who are living proof of being in the world but not of the world. These 'base' communities or neighborhood churches should be small enough for intimacy, kindred enough for acceptance, and gentle enough for criticism. gathered in the name of Jesus, the community empowers us to incarnate in our lives what we believe in our hearts and proclaim with our lips."
