JOY-FUELED
Connecting Heart to Heart With Each Other & God
Instead of asking, “How are you?” and hearing the reply, “I’m OK”, we ask, “How’s your heart?”
We listen to others so they know we hear them, see them, and are glad to be them them no matter what. No judgement and we only offer to help if asked. We practice relational skills.
JESUS-LED
Becoming Radical Attention-Payers to Immanuel
Immanuel means “God with us”. If He walks with me and talks with me, what is He telling me?
Learning to experience the intimate, interactive presence of Jesus is the key to hearing His voice and obeying what we hear. We practice listening to Jesus.
DISCIPLE-MAKING
Equipping Spiritual Moms & Dads
The church needs childlike elders, not childish leaders. Discipleship starts with being a disciple first, and maturing to lead others with true humility. We practice an Immanuel lifestyle to heal and fill our maturity gaps.
GRACE-FULL
Everyone Has a Voice and Every Voice is Heard
God uniquely shows up in each of us differently. When each voice is heard, the multi-faceted wisdom of God is more fully present (Eph 3:10). We practice sharing in rounds so no one person dominates the group.
CHRIST-UNITED
In Essentials Unity, In Non-Essentials Liberty, In All Things Charity
His Church is His Bride. We honor all expressions of the Church who choose to honor Jesus Christ as the Son of the Only true God, the One sent by the Father.
We receive healing from “church wounds” from imperfect men/women who make up His Church. We practice forgiveness and grace as we learn how to “love one another”.
