Committed to extravagant generosity
A generous life is one where our lives are marked by what we give, not by what we receive, so we give generously in a way that reflects the goodness of God. Generosity flows from an understanding of God’s abundance and is grasped through practice, love, and openness. Jesus says in Matthew 10:8, “Freely you have received; freely give.” In the economy of the kingdom the more we can release, give, share, empower others with life, resources, money, talent, information, relationship or any capital we possess the greater the impact we have in the life to come.
Practices - Gratitude, Sharing Resources, Tithing regularly, Giving to Missions
Dedicated to abundant simplicity
A life of simplicity is modeling Jesus’ life of simplicity. It is learning how to say no to some good things so you can say yes to what is best. We aim to keep our priorities in the right order. We reject an overly busy and cluttered life so we can do more with less.
Practices - Sabbath, Minimalism + Simplicity, Fasting, Media Fast
Sharing life with a loving family
A relational life is one of honor, humility, respect, and love. A relational life comes out of our solid identities being established as sons and daughters of the Father. We choose to be deeply connected to one another and every decision, every action, every ministry and every step along the way. A relational lens means we are a family on mission.
Practices - Communion, Eating meals with others, Confession, Being in a Missional Community
