I just watched the following video, a short presentation by Brett at New Story (which I’ve written about before):

Given I’m a sucker for community, one thing I picked up on was that Brett mentioned that building homes leads to lasting community. Money can’t build community, only time — given the time it takes to build a home, I’d have to agree with Brett. Beyond the time spent building those homes, those homes end up as locations for community gatherings for years to come.

So, yes, New Story is absolutely building community — and that’s a big reason I’m such a fan.
