God created mankind for relationship. When He
formed Adam, He said to Himself "it is not good for man to
be alone." So He created Eve, a suitable complementary
helper to live life with Adam. Marriage and Family are
the primary means to fellowship in life and they are the
primary building blocks of civilization. However,
family is not all the fellowship that is available. We
all have friends at work, in the neighborhood, in hobbies
and activities. Above all these is the Church.
We have a commonality within the Church that breaks down any
barriers of race, language, culture, and interests. A
black Christian and white Christian have more in common than
even a Christian husband and unbelieving wife.
Christians are members of God's household and have a common
faith in the Savior Jesus Christ.
How We Fellowship
In some churches, people clock-in and clock-out but never
say hello to anyone. At Camden, it is rare to leave
gatherings before spending at least a half-hour talking.
Sometimes we gab about the news, our families, work.
Sometimes we share our trials and temptations.
Sometimes it is deep, sometimes it is surface stuff.
All of it demonstrates the care for one another that goes on
in the fellowship. Are we the only church in the world
like this? No. But if you are looking for a
home... if you are looking for caring people... if you need
someone to talk to... welcome home.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.” - Ephesians 2:8-9
