Ancient Practices for a Modern World.

We are so grateful for your interest in pursuing a life of discipleship to Jesus in community. As a community we have a series of ancient practices, drawn from the wisdom found in Isaiah 61 and these form our deeply held spiritual framework. We invite you to engage with and allow each practice to form new foundations in your life.

Sabbath

Sabbath is a twenty-four hour time period set aside to stop, rest, delight, and worship. It is the best day of the week. In our era of chronic exhaustion, emotional unhealth, and spiritual stagnation, few things are more necessary than the recovery of this ancient practice

Prayer

The Prayer Practice will help you learn to set aside dedicated time to intentionally be with God, in order to become like him and partner with him in the world

Fasting

Fasting is one of the most essential and powerful of all the practices of Jesus and, arguably, the single most neglected one in the modern, Western church. The Fasting Practice will train you in this ancient discipline, integrating your whole body into life with God

Solitude

In an increasingly distracted and noisy world, we need solitude more than ever. The practice of solitude mimics Jesus’ rhythm of retreat and return: retreat from people and distractions to be with God, in order to return to community in love and service.

Other ancient practices

Other key ancient practices that we will continue to explore and engage with as foundations to our faith framework are;

Scripture, Community, Witness, Service, Kindness, Generosity, and Joy
