			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="pn-content-page-body">Getting connected is a big part of Fusion Fellowship Church. From Frisbee and soccer to food and studies, we believe that time with other believers helps build healthy relationships and personal accountability.</span></p>
<p><span class="pn-content-page-body">Belonging to a church is more than worshiping on a Sunday, it is being part of a community that shares life with one another. <strong>There are several different ways to get connected at Fusion Fellowship Church.</strong> The next step is up to you. Take a look at the options below and get involved.<span id="more-121"></span></span></p>
<h2>Plugging In</h2>
<p>One way to get and stay connected to the community at Fusion Fellowship Church is to join one of our <strong>social groups online</strong>.  You can start finding friendly faces you&#8217;ll soon recognize on our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=2747836410">Facebook Group</a> or keep up-to-date on what&#8217;s happening at Fusion by following the Twitter accounts of other Fusionites.  (Some suggestions are <a href="http://www.twitter.com/fusion155">Fusion155</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/fusion155_go">Fusion155_go</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/fusion155_pray">Fusion155_pray</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/timtjones">timtjones</a> and the people he Follows.)</p>
<h2>Food &amp; Fellowship</h2>
<p>An easy way for you to start to get to know some people face-to-face is to attend a Food and Fellowship Dinner.  We break bread (and tomato sauce and cheese and lots of different toppings and buffalo wings&#8230;) together <strong>every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month</strong> right after the Fusion 15:5 service. It’s a time where friends can get together to hang out, meet new people, and eat!</p>
<h2>Interest Groups</h2>
<p>Interest Groups are designed to gather people together around a <strong>common interest</strong>, <strong>activity</strong>, or <strong>sport</strong>. They are open to everyone and are a fantastic way to meet people and become involved.</p>
<h2>Small Groups</h2>
<p>We highly recommend that you get involved with a <a href="/?cat=3">Small Group</a> study.  Small Groups range in content of study and membership, but each will<strong> take you deeper into your personal relationship with Christ</strong>, regardless of your spiritual background or history.</p>
<h2>Service Opportunities</h2>
<p>We believe that <strong>every person at Fusion has been called to be involved in ministry and missions in one way or another</strong>.  We can build amazing relationships when we serve alongside one another. We offer several Service opportunities for you to roll up your sleeves and jump in through either <a href="/?cat=8">Missions</a> or <a href="/?cat=9">Ministry</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Where did the name come from?</h2>
<p>We chose the name to represent the energy that comes though the unity of all    young adults with Christ and the church. We love what Romans 15:5 says about    the type of people who come and what our ultimate goal is – to bring glory to    God. Check it out for yourself.</p>
<h3>Fusion&#8230;</h3>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;A merging of diverse, distinct, or separate elements into a unified    whole&#8230;resulting in the release of enormous quantities of energy when certain    light elements unite.&#8221; <a href="http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/fusion" target="_blank"><em>Merriam-Webster</em></a></p></blockquote>
<h3>&#8230;15:5</h3>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit    of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart    and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.&#8221; <em><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans%2015:5-6;&amp;version=31;" target="_blank">Romans    15:5-6 (NIV)</a></em></p></blockquote>
<p><img class="rightimage alignright" src="http://fusionfellowship.org/_images/faqs.jpg" alt="Fusion FAQs" /></p>
<h2>Who is Fusion Fellowship Church for?</h2>
<p>The people who attend the Fusion Fellowship Church service are:</p>
<ul>
<li>in college, and some are out</li>
<li>married, and others are not</li>
<li>attend <a href="http://www.gcconline.org">GCC</a> and other churches</li>
<li>Serve at GCC and other churches and ministries</li>
</ul>
<p>But all who come have a desire to know God more intimately!</p>
<h2>Is the Fusion service different from the morning service?</h2>
<p>Although we share all of the Grace Community Church values we change up the    topics to match up to those who come.</p>
<h2>What is the age range of people in Fusion Fellowship Church?</h2>
<p>We don’t like to answer that one – the elders have said 18 to 35, but we say    give us a try and see if it feels right.</p>

<p>We have childcare for infants through 5 year olds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="pn-content-page-body">Fusion Fellowship Church is a church within Grace Community Church. Accordingly, we share    the same statement of beliefs. If you have a question about theology or have    something you’d like to ask, <a href="?page_id=11">contact    us</a> and we’ll find the answer.</span></p>
<h2>The Bible</h2>
<ul>
<li> We believe that the Bible constitutes    the only infallible rule of faith and practice. (Matt. 5:18, 24:35; Jn. 17:17;    2 Tim. 3:15-17; Heb. 4:12; 2 Pet. 1:3-4)</li>
<li><span class="pn-content-page-body">We believe that the Bible is verbally    inspired in every word (2 Tim. 3:16), absolutely inerrant in the original documents    (Isa. 30:8), authoritative and God-breathed.</span></li>
<li><span class="pn-content-page-body">We believe that the Bible is the written Word of God; full and complete in    the sixty-six books of the Bible; revealed through the ministry of the Holy    Spirit (1 Cor. 2:7-14; 2 Pet. 1:20-21). </span></li>
</ul>
<h2>God</h2>
<ul>
<li>We believe in a perfectly holy, just and infinitely loving and merciful God    who is the creator and sustainer of all things (Gen. 1:1; Ex. 34:5-9; Job 38:4-30;    Isa. 42:5; Heb. 11:3), worthy of honor, confidence, and obedience. He has always    existed, one in essence, and in three Persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)    having precisely the same nature, attributes, and characteristics.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Father</h2>
<ul>
<li>God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom,    power and love, orders and disposes all things according to his own purpose    (Ps. 145:8-9; Isa. 46:8-11; Rom. 11:33; 1 Cor. 8:6).</li>
<li>As the absolute and highest    ruler of the universe, He is sovereign in creation, providence, and redemption    (Job 1:6-12; Ps. 103:19; Isa. 45:22).</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Son</h2>
<ul>
<li>Jesus Christ possesses all the divine attributes, and in these He is of the    same substance, coequal, and coeternal with the Father (Mic. 5:2; Jn. 10:27-30,    8:58, 14:9; Heb. 1:3,8).</li>
<li>We believe that in the incarnation He surrendered only    the prerogatives of deity without diminishing His divine essence (Phil. 2:5-11,    Col. 2:9).</li>
<li>We believe that Jesus Christ was virgin born (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:22-25;    Lk. 1:26-35); that He was God incarnate (Jn. 1:1-3, 14-18, 5:8); and that the    purpose of the incarnation was to reveal God and redeem men (Ps. 2:7-9; Isa.    9:6; Jn. 1:29, 3:16; Heb. 7:26-27; 1 Pet. 1:18-19).</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Holy Spirit</h2>
<ul>
<li>The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, eternal, undivided, possessing all the    divine attributes, and in these He is coequal with the Father and the Son (Acts    5:3-4; 2 Cor. 3:17-18).</li>
<li>We believe that it is the work of the Holy Spirit to    execute God&#8217;s will in relation to the world of men.</li>
<li>We recognize His sovereign    activity in creation (Gen. 1:2), the incarnation (Matt. 1:18), the written revelation    (2 Pet. 1:20-21), and the work of salvation (Jn. 3:5-7).</li>
<li>We believe that the    Holy Spirit is the supernatural and sovereign agent in the new birth, baptizing    all believers into the Body of Christ at the time of salvation (1 Cor. 12:13);    indwelling, sanctifying, instruction, and empowering them for service (Jn. 16:8-15;    Rom. 8:9-16); and is the guarantee of their final inheritance. (Eph. 1:13-14).</li>
</ul>
<h2>Man</h2>
<ul>
<li>We believe that man was created by God in his own image for the purpose of    enjoying fellowship with God (Deut. 6:4-5) and exercising dominion over God&#8217;s    created order (Gen. 1:26-28).</li>
<li>We believe that man was originally in perfect    fellowship with God, but fell from this position by disobeying God, resulting    in death, which is both spiritual (separation from God) and physical (Gen. 3:1-19;    Rom. 6:23).</li>
<li>We believe that all mankind is affected by this sin in such a way    that no human being by nature or through his own effort can achieve right standing    before God (Rom. 3:9-20, 23).</li>
</ul>
<h2>Salvation</h2>
<ul>
<li>We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, was raised from the dead on    the third day, ascended bodily into the presence of God the Father, and now    lives to intercede on our behalf (Lk. 24:36-39; 1 Cor. 15:3-8; Rom. 8:31-34;    Eph. 1:20).</li>
<li>We believe that this took place so that man can be reconciled to    God and can have fellowship with God (2 Cor. 5:14-21).</li>
<li>We believe that through    repentance and personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, a person graciously    receives right standing before God, forgiveness of sin, and eternal life (Jn.    3:16; Ac. 17:30; Rom. 3:21-28, 10:9; Eph. 2:8-9).</li>
<li>We believe the power of God    assures this believer of his secure position in Christ (Jn. 10:27-29: Rom. 8:28-39).</li>
</ul>
<h2>Christian Growth</h2>
<ul>
<li>We believe that the believer is to live a life of increasing conformity to    the will of God, becoming more and more like the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 6:1-22;    2 Cor. 3:18; Phil. 3:8-16; 2 Pet. 1:3-11). This process of growth takes place    through the exercise of faith, Bible study, prayer, meditation on the Word of    God, obedience to Christ, fellowship with other Christians, and other spiritual    disciplines (Psa. 119:9-16; Rom. 12:1-2; Col 2:6-7; 1 Thess. 5:16-18; 2 Tim.    2:15; Heb 5:12-14, 10:24-25).</li>
<li>We believe that every saved person is involved    in a lifelong conflict&#8211;the new nature in Christ is set against the old nature&#8211;but    adequate provision has been made for victory in this conflict through the power    of the indwelling Holy Spirit. While the believer is never completely free from    sin, the Holy Spirit does provide for victory over sin (Rom. 7:14-25, 8:117;    Gal. 5:16-25; Eph. 4:22-24; Col. 3:9-10).</li>
<li>We believe in the reality and personality    of Satan, and when given the opportunity he and his agents attempt to defeat    Christians and thwart the mission of the church (Job 1:6-12; Matt. 4:1-11; 2    Cor. 2:10-11, 4:3-4; 1 Thess. 2:18). However, we believe Christians overcome    Satan&#8217;s schemes by applying Scriptural truth and exercising, by faith, the authority    we have in Christ (Eph. 6:10-18; 1 Pet. 5:8-9; 1 Jn. 5:4-5).</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Church</h2>
<ul>
<li>We believe that all who place their faith in Christ are immediately baptized    by the Holy Spirit into one united spiritual Body (1 Cor. 12:12-13), of which    Christ is the head (Eph. 1:22; 4:15; Col. 1:18).</li>
<li>We believe that the purpose    of the Body is to glorify God by world-wide proclamation that Jesus Christ is    Savior, and by encouraging each believer to become progressively Christ-like    through the power of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:11-16). The Bible teaches that    the members of this one spiritual Body are to associate themselves together    in local churches (1 Cor. 11:18-20; Heb. 10:25).</li>
<li>We believe that God has given    special spiritual abilities to each member of the Body of Christ (Rom. 12:5-8;    1 Cor. 12:4-31; 1 Pet. 4:10-11), as well as spiritually gifted people to churches    for the purpose of preparing believers for spiritual work (Eph. 4:11-12). It    is essential for every believer to recognize and employ his spiritual abilities    for the building up of the Body and the accomplishment of the work of God in    the world (Rom. 12:3-8; 1 Pet. 4:10-11).</li>
<li>We believe Jesus Christ instituted    two symbolic observances for the Body: baptism by immersion for believers (Matt.    28:19), and the Lord&#8217;s Supper as a memorial of his death (Lk. 22:14-20).</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Future</h2>
<ul>
<li>We believe the personal and visible return of Jesus Christ could occur at any    time (Matt. 24:29-44; Rev. 19:11-20:6).</li>
<li>We believe in the bodily resurrection    of the saved and unsaved; the former to eternal fellowship with the Lord and    the latter to eternal punishment and separation from Him (1 Thess. 4:13-18:    Jn. 5:25-29; Rev. 20:7-15).</li>
</ul>
