A question we regularly ask as a faith family is: “What does it mean to follow Jesus?” How we answer this question profoundly shapes our life together. Fundamentally, we believe:

A follower of Jesus is someone who has responded to Jesus’ invitation to be continuously in His presence with the aim of inheriting His character and imitating His actions.

To be a church family who proclaims Jesus until He cannot be ignored in our city, in our everyday lives, requires us to re-imagine our rhythms of life together through these three goals:

 

Be With Jesus

… in His presence

Become Like Jesus

… inheriting His character…

Do What Jesus Did

… imitating His actions…

The message below serves as a kind of road map for where we hope to go in the coming months (even years) as a faith family.*

We also had a conversation on our podcast, The Christ City Cast, discussing what it means to “follow Jesus.”
