Searching for a Healthy Chistian Community?

Jamie at BeChurch describes healthy Christian comunity in the following way:

People were designed to need each other and rely on each other. People were designed to learn and grow from loving interaction with other people. That is why a safe and loving family is such an important thing for children. they need those relationships to develop properly. It's the same with us as believers... we need healthy relationships with other followers of Jesus to experience all of the blessings and freedom that God has in store for us as his people. When we find ourselves in a loving relationship with other believers, we begin to live life in a new way, a more freeing way...

However, Christians community can be pretty messy because the lives of those of us who make up the community are generally pretty messy. If we are going to experience authentic Christian community, it will only happen through the grace and power of God, and with great intentionality on the part of those who want to be part of such a community.
