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

Join our current study (starting 12/26/21) by clicking here. Taking time as an individual or group to fast and pray is a biblical principle. People who fasted in the Bible experienced amazing breakthroughs. With this reading plan, we want to guide and support you in your period of fasting.
Join our previous study (starting 12/26/21) by clicking here. Advent takes us up to Christmas, but what comes next? The decorations come down, the house is empty, and we're left looking for hope in a new year. These reflections remind us that our hope for change isn't in the clock striking midnight, but Christ's presence in our everyday lives.

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.
