The disciplines (Daily Habits)

We believe that one major part of maturing as a believer ​is listening and speaking to God. This is most commonly done through Bible Study and Prayer.
  • As a church, we like to read through short-term and year-long Bible studies (found below) that are connected to the current series. ​These are found on bible.com or the "YouVersion" app.​
  • ​We have some suggested prayer apps (found below). 
  • We also promote the daily and weekly habits found at thecommonrule.org in our Grace Groups. 

short-term studies

​Do rough patches in relationships ever catch you by surprise? Despite our best intentions, we all have blind spots—bad relational habits that are keeping us from enjoying our relationships fully. Whether you struggle to overcome past wounds, insecurity, blame, or envy, it’s time to reflect on your relational habits and reset them, especially your relationship with God. That’s what this 7 day devotional Bible plan is designed to do.

​God has created us to be relational beings but as we are all so different, this is not always easy. Our devotional on diversity, invites you to reflect on the diversity all around us. We will be exploring the uniqueness of each individual and be encouraged to pursue true unity that is only found in Christ.

Year-Long Study


​Many in the church are reading through the Bible in a Year together. With a 6-day a week reading schedule, it allows you to catch up if you need a day off.

Prayer guides


We know that knowing what to pray and finding a rhythm of prayer can often be difficult. We have found two apps that have helped us with both of these issues. We recommend checking out:
  • ​​The "Daily Prayer" app is based on the common book of prayer and has reminders for morning, afternoon, evening, and late evening prayers. It can be found for apple here and for android here. 
  • The "Lectio 365" app is based on the Lectio Divina contemplative prayer style and offers and morning and evening prayer offering. It can be found for apple here and for android here. 
  • The YouVersion Bible app app is one of the most popular Bible apps. It also offers a prayer that is more than competent to handle a smaller prayer list. The greatest benefit of using the YouVersion app that I can see is that you can do your Bible reading and have your prayer list in the same app. It can be found for apple here and for android here. 

THE COMMON RULE(S)

We promote the daily and weekly habits found at thecommonrule.org in our Grace Groups.
