What type of church should we become in order to nourish spiritual identity in Jesus Christ as well as the spiritual pattern of dying to sin and rising to new life in Christ by the Spirit? We must become a church that nurtures disciples—birthing and mothering to create story-formed communities. In order for a church to be story-formed, the focus needs to be on people, not on buildings, . . . on a process of Christian formation of people, not on programs. — Robert Webber, The Divine Embrace: Recovering the Passionate Spiritual Life (Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 2006), 227-228.
