7 Rhythms of Discipleship

1. Daily Devotion

A daily rhythm of reading, meditating on, and applying God’s Word to our lives equips us with all we need to learn about Him and live a life pleasing to Him.

2. Prayer

A daily rhythm of reading, meditating on, and applying God’s Word to our lives equips us with all we need to learn about Him and live a life pleasing to Him.

3. Repentance

With the help of the Spirit, we take inventory of our lives, humbly and honestly confess our sins, and turn away from our sins toward God in surrender.

4. Sacrificial Generosity

In His generosity toward us, God desires that we, too, are generous and will use our resources as a tangible way to partner with Him in His work in the world and in the lives of those around us.

5. Serve the Community

We are called and equipped by the Holy Spirit to share God’s love by participating in the ministry of Jesus.

6. Share Your Story

Sharing our life story is the most powerful way to show the transforming power and salvation offered through Jesus Christ.

7. Worship

As children of God, it is important to consistently set aside time to remember what God has done, to thank Him for it, and to put Him on display as we give Him the glory.
