Follow Jesus

There are four core ways we practice following Jesus.

Gather | Grow | Groups | Give

Gather

Gather each week to worship, learn, and love others.

  • Just come back to church! Commit to attending consistently for the next three weeks.
  • Arrive 10 minutes early, find someone you do not recognize and introduce yourself. “My name is
    ___, how long have you been coming to Life Center?”
  • Arrive early to a Sunday service and sit in silence to center yourself and prepare to worship.
  • Introduce yourself to someone waiting for their drink at the coffee bar.
  • Meet one new person each week and commit to pray daily for them the following week.

Grow

Grow a daily relationship with Jesus through PBJ (prayer, Bible reading, and journaling)

  • Get a Bible and choose a plan or book of the Bible to read and commit to spending time reading and praying each day (even if it’s 5 minutes, creating consistency is key!)
  • Beat your previous consecutive day prayer, Bible, journal (PBJ) streak; if it was one day, make it two!
  • Increase your PBJ time by 5 minutes; continue a 5 minute increase each week.
  • Download the YouVersion Bible app and post your PBJ reflection in a neighborhood group.
  • Text someone your scripture insights for the day and ask what theirs is.
  • Have your PBJ at the same time and place for 14 consecutive days.

Groups

Connect in a group for spiritual growth and encouragement.

  • Join a Group!
  • Pray for someone in your Group every day.
  • Text someone in your Group a prayer each day.
  • Attend Group eight weeks in a row.
  • Talk to your Group Leader about leading a new Group.

Give

Give your life away in service and generosity.

  • Write down an act of kindness you did each day for 14 days.
  • Plan generosity: how are you generous with your finances? Do you need to start giving, increase your generosity, or give to a specific need?
  • Serve at Life Center.
  • Serve in the community.
  • Set up recurring giving at Life Center.
  • Increase your financial giving for three months. Ask God for an amount to increase it by.
