It is the committed discipleship of God’s people that releases the power of the Holy Spirit in the ministries and mission of God’s church. When we are intentional about our own spirituality, it means we take seriously our congregation’s mission statement: “being and making passionate disciples for Jesus Christ”.
These six practices are:
PRAY daily
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 // Pray without ceasing
WORSHIP weekly
Romans 12:1-2 // Offer yourself as a living sacrifice
READ the Bible daily
Colossians 3:16-17 // Let the Word dwell in your hearts
SERVE at and beyond our congregation
Matthew 20:28 // Serve others
RELATE with others to encourage spiritual growth
John 13:34-35 // Love one another
GIVE generously of time, talent and resources
Matthew 6:19-21 // Teach us to give
These six practices are:
- Prayer
- Worship
- Bible Reading
- Service to God and To Others
- Giving - Time, Talent, and Treasure
- Encouraging Others to Grow
You are encouraged to reflect on these six faith practices often. Share them with others. We are bold to say: “This is who we are as disciples of Jesus. This is what we do.” No apologies, no embarrassment, and no boasting. It’s just who we are as the baptized people of God. For in the grace of God, we have chosen discipleship.
I will strive to be a passionate follower of Jesus Christ who:
Prays daily
Worships weekly
Reads the bible daily
Serves at and beyond Prince of Peace
Relates with others to encourage spiritual growth
Gives generously with a goal of 10% and beyond
