Practices of PEACE

PEACE is an acronym that encapsulates the five practices—Pause, Eat, Ask, Commune, Examine. They are designed to fold into the flow of your daily life to help you experience purpose and peace through the gospel and our community transform sustainably.

We’d love to tell you more about each of these practices and how they work in the context of your already busy life. Filled with God’s peace, we then pass it on to others. Here are the practical ways we do that.

Rest and delight in Jesus

PAUSE

One day each week we pause from our labors so that we can delight in Jesus. We rest from our work and daily activities to remind ourselves that we are beloved children of God—not because of anything we have done, but purely through unmerited grace and immeasurable love.

Reflect the joyful hospitality of Jesus

EAT

Eating with others allows us to enjoy what God has so graciously given us, the food we eat and the people around us, and elevates ordinary actions into an expression of Christ’s restorative kingdom.

Spark rich, authentic spiritual conversations

ASK

We ask questions the way Jesus did, with a curious and compassionate posture. When we ask meaningful questions and listen attentively, we can be conduits of God’s grace and truth.

Share in the mission of Jesus

COMMUNE

We commune with at least two other Christians, committing to a small community that shares the mission of Jesus. We open up honestly and offer accountability, creating a unique, missional community that’s bound together by the Holy Spirit.

Listen and speak to Jesus

EXAMINE

We invite Jesus to Examine us daily through prayer and the reading of God’s word. God gives us the gifts of prayer and scripture, not as mans to earn his favor but as avenues to grow in his love and grace.
