Welcome to the
GATHERED.CHURCH

Church beyond buildings and sermons. 
At a Glance:
  • We have no "Church buildings" and no employed workers, so as the Spirit leads we support/equip one another to do the work of the Church. ​
  • We create regular spaces and opportunities for everyday people to experience Jesus, so each person can participate according to how God has designed them.  ​
  • We train believers and not-yet-believers to connect with Jesus, building them up in the truth and way of the Kingdom, so as Ambassadors they can be sent to do the same.

The Question then isn't how do we avoid the culture? 
But How can we thrive within this culture? 

ENTER THE WAY OF THE KINGDOM.



​


Jesus sets the EXAMPLE of putting intentionality into Spiritual formation.   ​These habits are known as Spiritual Practices

ALONE | TOGETHER | STOP | ENGAGE 

Knowing how God has designed you is crucial to this. Looking at some of these practices we will be drawn to some and not drawn to others. And that is fine, but all of these are super important.

When COming into Spiritual Practices,
​keep in mind...
​

It takes intentional effort. This is going to be hard  - We live in a culture where Comfort is King And Effort is the enemy. 
  • Following Jesus Is not Comfortable - dealing with a lot of Inner work - Loving those no one else wants to - lovingly speaking truth even when it hurts…
  • And it will take Effort - Dying to yourself, having self control, enduring, persevering, loving enemies, seeking first the Kingdom… These things don’t come naturally. ​​

​A Balanced Approach (3 things to keep in mind as we track along) 
  • Knowing your personality (how God has wired you, designed you - knowing how you best connect with God, energy levels, coping mechanisms... )
  • Knowing your season of life (where God has you, realistic expectations and gracious in you personal convictions)
  • Knowing your level of Apprenticeship (as apprentices of Jesus there is a process, a maturing…  some been Apprentices for years - yet living and acting as though they are 1st year Apprentices… only able to or willing to sweep up the shop) 
​
​

Spirit Dependence - It is called Spiritual Practices for a reason - Apart from the Spirit we can do nothing. 
  • We need him to work through us and to empower us. 
  • We need him to point us to the truth of who God is, what he has done and who we are in light of that. ​
