What They Couldn’t Do…
April 6, 2024
What does it mean to be deeply committed Christians, growing in faith every day? How do we become fully engaged and flourishing in the Christian life?
During the season of Lent, we will explore a model for Christian discipleship, built around five essential practices – practices that we engage in both collectively and individually in order to more fully follow Jesus. Join us as together we worship, grow, serve, give and share – closing the spiritual gap in our lives.
The 5 Essential Practices
Look for these icons throughout the season as we work to understand and find ways to live into these practices.
Worship
We were created for worship. When we cultivate a rhythm of daily worship through gratitude and praise to God, we experience the fullness of God’s grace and flourish in the Christian life.
Grow
Love God with your heart, soul, MIND, and strength. Be deliberate in exploring concepts and ideas that expand your mind and help you grow in faith.
Serve
Jesus calls us to live a life of service to both God and others. It is essential to following Jesus to serve daily.
Give
Living a life of generosity is using our time, talents and resources to serve God and bless others.
Share
We are called to be Christ’s ambassadors, sharing God through word and deed.
Celebrate Easter with us!
