Our Values - Presence

In a world of distraction, Presence

Jesus, whose yoke is easy and burden is light, invites us to live our life from rest. In cultivating Presence, we long to leave behind distraction and anxiety in order to be face to face with God, our selves, and our neighbors.

We make a practice of cultivating Presence through:

Corporate Life: Eucharist

The primary way we pursue Presence as a community is in our Sunday worship service, also known as “Eucharist,” which means thanksgiving, is another way of referring to the communion meal. Each week, our community orients itself around word and table, where we hear the gospel proclaimed in the reading of Scripture and enacted through the Christ’s table.

Personal Life: Daily Scripture and Prayer

We live in a time when there are more Bible reading apps and plans than ever, but it can be very difficult to sustain personal spiritual disciplines. Any practice that keeps you rooted in Scripture and in regular conversation with God is one worth pursuing. Though there is no perfect way to meet with God in daily prayer, we would commend to you a rhythm oriented around taking the Sunday gathering with you into your week.
