I intentionally seek to
build relationships with unchurched people in order
to share God’s love. / I attend worship regularly and set aside time daily
for connecting with God. / I am called not only to receive, but also to offer God’s gracious acceptance to others beyond the church. / I give some when
I attend worship.
I read the Bible often and sometimes the Spirit seems to speak to me. / I am taking responsibility for my own growth through the daily practices of spiritual disciplines. / I am seeing how God can heal the hurts and fill the needs of those around me. / I attend worship when a friend invites me, it is convenient, or I feel a need.
I worship God in the ways I work, play, and engage others in relationships; all of life. / I occasionally try reading the Bible, but it is difficult
to understand. / I pray to God when I am concerned or in distress. / I know Christ invites me to join him in serving others and I’m wondering how I can do this.
I am giving more and
giving more regularly and generously. / I am curiously drawn to the Christians who graciously accept me as if I belong with them already. / I understand more about Jesus’ teaching through classes
& my own study. / I seek to relate to others both in the church and beyond in ways that reflect God’s hospitality to me.
I seek to be open to God’s voice and blessings in all aspects of my life. / I am learning more and more about the transformation that Christ is bringing into my life. / I am often amazed at the way some disciples selflessly serve others and I want to make a difference as well. / I join together in groups for short-term studies that interest me.
I am a committed member of a study or accountability group and willingly lead the group when needed. / I am developing a regular practice of prayer, Scripture reading, and devotional reading. / I am tithing and consciously reordering my life to free up more resources to honor God and bless others. / I share my story of God’s work of grace in my life and invite others into a relationship with Christ.
I am comfortable inviting friends and acquaintances to attend church events with me. / I experiment serving in different areas as I discover my gifts, talents & passions. / I meet regularly with a group of my peers for support, encouragement, prayer, and study. / I am tithing and reconsidering how I spend the other 90%.
