Practicing the Way

Be with Jesus. Become like Him. Do as He Did.

Inspired by John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way, our January 2026 worship series invites us to rediscover what it truly means to follow Jesus not simply in name but in daily practice. Following Jesus is far more challenging than claiming the title “Christian;” it is a lifelong journey of shaping our lives around his presence, his character, and his way of life. Join us as we worship and learn around the theme of "Practicing the Way." You'll identify with current practices and discover new practices to enhance your journey of faith.

Whether you’ve been walking with Christ for decades or are just beginning to explore what it means to join this journey, there is room for you here. Together, we will learn how to put the way of Jesus into practice in the ordinary moments of everyday habits, rhythms, and spiritual practices that form us into his likeness.

Here you will find in-person and online opportunities available to go deeper into the practices of following Jesus during this series as well into our time of Lent. Below you can find resources as they come available that are learning community handouts, session recordings, and other tools to help you practice walking in the way of Jesus.

Using the Enneagram to Find Hope in Times of Despair • Feb 19-Mar 12

Lent invites us into deeper reflection, honest self-examination, and renewed hope. But in a world marked by anxiety, rapid change, and a sense of despair, how do we cultivate inner peace and spiritual resilience?

This Lunch & Learn Learning Community explores the Enneagram as a spiritual tool that helps us move beyond patterned, unconscious behaviors toward greater freedom, compassion, and wholeness. We will explore all three triads and the unique postures of spiritual practices connected to each. Together, we’ll reflect on how grief, fear, relationships, and resilience show up in our inner lives—and how God’s grace meets us there.

This class is for anyone who wants to learn more about the Enneagram; however, participants who already know their number will benefit most from the experience.
    REGISTER ONLINE Registration due at least one week prior to class start.

This Lent, you’re invited to join The Practice Series, a Learning Community designed to help you explore spiritual practices that draw us deeper into the life of God. Each week features an online teaching session followed by a 4-day asynchronous reading plan and practice, giving you space to experience the practice in your own daily rhythm.

Spiritual practices help shape us as disciples. They open us to God’s divine grace, offer new and ancient rhythms, and give us ways to be fully present with God in the midst of everyday life. Whether you’re discovering these practices for the first time or rediscovering them in a new season, you may choose to participate in one practice or all of them. Each session is designed to equip you with enough understanding to simply try it - to take a small but meaningful step deeper into the way of Jesus.

This series continues the journey we began in our January worship series, Practicing the Way, and the Learning Community offered alongside it.

All teaching sessions will take place on Mondays from 7–8 pm via Zoom.

Monday, February 23 — The Practice of Community with Pastor Allison - Explore how God forms us through life together.
Tuesday, March 3 — The Practice of Solitude & Silence with Pastor Pavielle - Discover the quiet spaces where God speaks beneath the noise. (Note date change this one only)
