6P: The Practice of People
THE PRACTICE OF PEOPLE:
We value all people as God’s image-bearers, celebrating differences and standing up for the dignity of the overlooked and undervalued.
THE SIX PRACTICES OF WHOLE-HEARTED DISCIPLESHIP
Following Jesus is more than just an idea. Jesus invites us to live life in his way, a life animated by love for God and love for our neighbors that takes on concrete habits in our everyday life. These six practices form a community rule of life for our church. A rule of life is a set of values or practices that give shape to our life following Jesus. They aren’t “rules,” but a pattern, a template, for what following Jesus looks like.

YOU WERE CREATED FOR COMMUNITY.
You weren’t meant to live life alone. That’s why at Wingfoot we believe the most important time you spend during your week isn’t an hour on Sunday but what happens every other day of the week as you live life with others.
