In the gospel, we find our identity as citizens of God’s kingdom, members of God’s family, and missionaries sent for God’s purpose.
The practices below, with their studies and exercises, are tools to immerse ourselves in our gospel identities and remind us and our small groups who God is, what he’s done for us in Christ, and what we’re invited to be a part of.

Remember, these practices are not boxes to check or ways to earn God’s love…
but real ways to abide in Jesus and devote our lives to him fully. Discipline is not always easy, but when we pursue these practices together, they are one of the primary ways we can become the people and church God created and saved us to be.
