Our Shared Rhythms

To grow together as followers of Jesus, we have adopted a few shared Rhythms that we are committed to embodying both individually and as a community.

The Rhythm of Scripture & Prayer

Romans 10:17: So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
 
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
 

The two most important ways to connect with God are Scripture and Prayer. These two are not mutually exclusive; rather, they are meant to be engaged in together. When we read Scripture, the main goal is not to gain information, but to experience illumination (God speaking to you through the Bible). When we pray, rather than simply rattling off our wish list to God, we are praying according to God’s Word and God’s will.

Simply put: When we read, we should read prayerfully. When we pray, we should pray Biblically.

Ways to Get Started

Stretch Goal

  • Complete a one-year Bible reading plan, prayerfully.

The Rhythm of Worship & Community

Acts 2:42-46: They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer…. Day by day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.
 
The very first verse about the regular rhythms and activities of the first local church in Jerusalem tells us that they met together regularly in the temple courts (for worship) and in their homes (for fellowship and prayer). Something powerful happens when we are engaged in our local church in both ways.
 
Public worship is more than just attending a service to get “fed,” it’s both a place to be known and the place to worship God passionately and authentically. It’s also a time when we lovingly and sacrificially use our God-given gifts and talents to serve one another.
 
Community groups are more than a Bible Study, they are a place we go weekly to share our life together, to encourage each other in our faith, and to be pastored more holistically. It’s also an environment to engage in the gifts of the Spirit in our prayer and ministry to each other.

Ways to Get Started

  • Join a volunteer team.
  • Sign up for a Community Group or discipleship class (Alpha, EHS).

Stretch Goal

  • After attending groups, volunteer to co-lead or host a group.

The Rhythm of Compassion & Mission

Colossians 1:12-16: Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion… Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly.
 
Jesus’ intention for his followers is that we share his Good News with others, both with words, and without. We believe wholeheartedly in embodying the love of Jesus (living “incarnationally”). 
 
James 1:27 says that Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
 
Therefore, we ask everyone that calls Society Church their home church to regularly practice sharing their story of faith in Jesus with others, and serving their community in a tangible way.

Ways to Get Started

  • Write down a summary of your faith story (before Jesus, meeting Jesus, life with God).
  • Sign up for the Compassion Team.

Stretch Goal

  • Make a prayer list of friends and family you’d like to introduce to Jesus; invite them to food/coffee and think of a way you can bless them.

The Rhythm of Stewardship & Generosity

1 Peter 4:10: Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
 
Stewardship is the sacred rhythm of caring for what God has entrusted to us, including our time, abilities, bodies, resources, influence, and even creation itself. Generosity flows from this rhythm, not as obligation, but as joyful participation in God’s Kingdom work.
 
We don’t engage in stewardship and generosity out of fear or scarcity but out of trust that God is the Giver of all good things; and in His economy, there is always enough to share.

Ways to Get Started

  • Offer your time or skills in a tangible way within the church or your local community.
  • Begin giving regularly, even in a small amount, as an act of trust and worship.

Stretch Goal

  • Commit to a percentage-based generosity rhythm that grows over time.

The Rhythm of Rest & Work

Genesis 2:2-3: By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy.
 

From the beginning, God designed human life to move in a holy rhythm of rest and work. For us, rest comes first; not as a reward for exhaustion, but as a gift. It reminds us that our worth is not found in what we produce, but in who we are before God. In a culture that glorifies hurry, productivity, and burnout, we believe that Sabbath-shaped living is a form of resistance. We do not rest because of what we accomplish; we rest because God is faithful.

Work then flows from this place of rest. It is not a curse, it is an act of worship. In Scripture, work is more than a job; it is vocation. In all our work, both seen and unseen, paid and unpaid, we lovingly offer our lives back to God in devotion, creativity, and service—joining Him in His ongoing work of renewal in the world.

Ways to Get Started

  • Practice a weekly Sabbath: Set aside time for rest, worship, delight, and digital unplugging.
  • Offer your daily work to God in prayer; asking Him to shape what you do and how you do it.

Stretch Goal

  • Take a retreat day (or half-day) each season for prayerful reflection, silence, and recalibration.
