The Practice of
The Lord's Table
The Table is centered around the presence of Jesus. When we gather with others to participate in this, we tend to God’s presence in our lives.
The Practice of
Reconciliation
In a sin-scarred and divided world, the practice of reconciliation puts us at the heart of the message of God: shalom with God and others.
The Practice of
Proclaiming The Gospel
The practice of proclamation is announcing – with hope – that this is God’s world and he desires for His presence to break in even further.
The Practice of
The Fivefold Gifting
The fivefold gifting allows us to receive God’s gifts poured out to different people who work together to advance God’s mission.
The Practice of
Being with the Least of These
Being with the least of these isn’t a good idea or warm sentiment, but the very way in which God makes his presence known among us.
The Practice of
Being with Children
The Practice of being with children shows us the values of the kingdom: wonder celebration, dependence, honesty and playfulness.
The Practice of
Kingdom Prayer
The practice of kingdom prayer is the acknowledgement of our submission to God, our desire to be more accessible for His purposes and a longing for more of His presence.
