Life Marks

Our Life Marks are a set of attributes in an individual’s life that reflect the Church’s Mission.  As a result of Connecting People to Life in Jesus, we expect that followers of Jesus are actively engaged in our Strategy (lifeWorship, lifeGroup, lifeServe) at the Church will be able to say:

I AM Sustained by the Word.

Bible:  Am I reading, reflecting on, and responding to God’s Word daily?
Grow:  Would people closest to me recognize that I have a growing relationship with Jesus?
Worship:  Does personal and public worship hold a sacred place in my life?
Community:  Am I being sharpened by God’s Word in relationship with other Christians?

I AM Dependent on Christ.

Grace:  Have I received Jesus by faith and do I allow Him to love and accept me in spite of who I am?  (Galatians 2:21)
Surrender:  Am I giving up my idols to give Jesus center stage in my life?
Focus:  Do my calendar, relationships, and checkbook display that I am fully relying on God?
Prayer:  Am I pursuing a more intimate relationship with God by allowing time for conversation with Him?

I AM a Visible Reflection of Jesus.

Love:  Am I intentionally blessing neighbors and friends with a compassionate heart?
Obey:  Am I listening for what God wants me to do and following through?
Purpose:  Can I complete this statement:  “I am making disciples and glorifying God by ______________?”
