We invite you—hopefully with a small group of friends—to practice with us the practices of Jesus.
The Practices of Jesus
WORSHIP | COMMUNITY | MISSION
Jesus displayed a matchless beauty of character. He possessed unparalleled powers of faith, hope, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control—all in harmony with the Holy Spirit. He did this in part by living life a certain way. His lifestyle included practices that connected Him deeply to His Father through worship, to the family of God through community, and to God’s purposes on earth through mission. And He invites us to “follow Him,” to adopt His practices, so that He can shape more of His LIFE and character in us across our lifetime.

LIFE WITH JESUS IN WORSHIP
Just as it is hardly possible to witness the colors of a sunset at the beach without a sense of delight, there’s no way to be near God and not worship. Practices such as prayer, solitude, and interacting with Scripture help us join Jesus in worship.
GRATITUDE | SOLITUDE | MEMORIZE |
LECTIO DIVINIA | PRAYING THE LORD’S PRAYER | SABBATH | PRAYER OF EXAMEN | FASTING | RESILIENCE: FINDING HOPE IN SUFFERING | IMMANUEL PRAYER | LAMENT | LISTENING TO GOD

LIFE WITH JESUS IN COMMUNITY
The Christian life is meant to be lived together with others in Christ. Christ lived this out and we can follow his example. Together we experience God’s love, find encouragement, receive God’s word, share our gifts, and carry one another’s burdens. No one is meant to do life alone.
SPIRITUAL FRIENDSHIP | SMALL GROUPS | BIBLE STUDY | WORSHIP IN COMMUNITY | FORGIVENESS | GIVING |
RESILIENCE: DEVOTED LOVE IN A CULTURE OF DISCONNECTION | DISCOVER YOUR GIFTS | MAKING DISCIPLES |

LIFE WITH JESUS ON MISSION
Jesus came to earth on a mission for His Father—to “seek and save the lost,” “proclaim good news,” and set free “those who are oppressed.” Jesus invites us to join Him on His life-giving mission. These are the practices that help us to go with Him into a lost and hurting world.
Life with Jesus Guide
Life with Jesus in Guide
We can see in scripture that Jesus arranged his life around three rhythms: worship, community, and mission. We have identified six core discipleship commitments that we aspire to in our journey as a disciple of Jesus. These core commitments give clarity to the rhythms and are supported by the practices. We developed a resource to help you discern your next step with these commitments and practices called, “The Life with Jesus Guide: Discerning Your Next Step.”
