The Disciplines
We believe that the path to freedom, healing, and joy is found in the disciplines of prayer, reading God’s Word, meditating, fasting, and self-denial, as well as in other spiritual disciplines. We have invited people into times of solitude and reflection and try to keep the practice of the disciplines part of our own routines. The elders regularly pray over and anoint people with oil for the purpose of bringing healing and hope. Some have invited people into their homes for a season in order to help them grow more disciplined lives in the area of resisting addictive behaviors or handling their financial affairs. Annually we covenant together to allow ourselves to be disciplined by those God has placed in spiritual authority over us.
