Resurrection Rhythms is an initiative that fosters spiritual renewal and personal transformation through a practice-based approach to following Jesus in a life of Worship, Community, and Mission.
We would love for you to join us on the journey.
“I cannot transform myself, or anyone else for that matter. What I can do is create the conditions in which spiritual transformation can take place, by developing and maintaining a rhythm of spiritual practices that keep me open and available to God.

Extend hospitality once a week to someone outside your faith tradition.
Adopt a place to be intentionally and relationally present at least once a week (coffee shop, library, playground, community garden, softball team, etc.).
Do a weekly prayer walk in your neighborhood.
Monthly Rhythms
Volunteer to serve once a month with an organization outside the church (perhaps one of Resurrection’s partner organizations or one in your neighborhood).
Participants commit to at least one “Rhythm” (i.e. a regular spiritual practice) in each category - Worship, Community, and Mission - in order to cultivate habits of body, mind, and soul that shape us in the likeness of Christ.
Participants also commit to meet with others in the Resurrection community regularly (at least monthly) to talk about how the Rhythms are going, to support and encourage one another in their Rhythms, and to pray for one another’s spiritual growth and renewal.

“We have a common problem. By ignoring the ways habits shape us, we’ve assimilated to a hidden rule of life: the American rule of life. This rigorous program of habits forms us in all the anxiety, depression, consumerism, injustice, and vanity that are so typical in the contemporary American life. It’s urgent, then, that we recover the wisdom of crafting a gospel-based rule of life as the new norm for living as a Christian in America today. We desperately need a set of counter-formative practices to become the lovers of God and neighbor we were created to be.”
