What’s Important
We value deeply the process of spiritual formation (discipleship) and we believe that it involves observable and easily understandable steps that lead to a life of becoming like Christ (life-change) in that we love as he loved and live as he lived. While “L4” is more organic than linear, we see these steps as follows:
L1 – Loving God and Loving our neighbors as ourselves – this is the usual starting point (Mark 12:28-31; Philippians 2)…
L2 – Locking arms in community – this is typically the next step, or level of commitment (Acts 2:41-47)…
L3 – Living openhandedly – this usually follows group life as it helps us move toward living beyond ourselves (Romans 12:3-21)…
L4 – Launching new people, new groups and new churches – this is the desired result of living out L1-L3 (Matthew 28:18-20)…
