THREE GUIDING PRINCIPLES
WE DON'T GATHER ONLY TO LEARN. WE COME TO FOLLOW.
We begin each gathering by reading aloud three commitments that guide our life together.
Following the Way of Christ
To hear Jesus more clearly together and deepen our understanding of his teachings.
Putting Love into Action
To move beyond simply believing in Jesus and put his teachings into practice.
Holding On and Letting Go
To hold on to Christ, his Kingdom, and his promises—and let go of the fears, ambitions, possessions, identities, and false securities that compete for our devotion.
TWELVE SPIRITUAL PRACTICES
Belief matters. But we become what we practice. Each month, we explore one dimension of discipleship and ask how it might change the way we live.
01 — Repentance →
Turn around and enter the Kingdom.
02 — Forgiveness →
Receiving mercy so that we may become merciful.
03 — Acceptance →
Belonging before becoming.
04 — Humility →
Learning to decrease.
05 — Empathy →
Learning to see through another's eyes.
06 — Compassion →
Love that participates.
07 — Hope →
Practicing the future in the present.
08 — Reconciliation →
Healing what sin divides.
09 — Integrity →
Wholeness between belief and practice.
10 — Resistance →
Learning to say no.

Learning to remain with God.

Giving our whole lives to God.
