TOGETHER Rhythm
“The church is a community of practices which join people together in their submission to Jesus as Lord.”
Together movements are about communion with God and with others; they include all of the other movements of UP, IN, OUT, and DOWN, but are intentionally done with other followers of the Way, for we are not meant to pursue our life in Christ alone, but with others who are also on the Way. Together movements are also about reconciliation as Jesus has given us a “ministry of reconciliation” and we are always to be working to restore and renew relationships that have been broken or damaged by self-centeredness and sin.
