Definition



The gathering of people who have the same goals in mind. Joining with others that have the same interest and goals.



Biblical Statement:



Christians are told to not give up meeting together. We are God's children, and are heirs to the throne along with Jesus. We have the responsibilities as God's children to obey our Father, and meet together in order to encourage one another, and most of all help others.
