Spiritual Order's Intent

The Spiritual Order’s intent is to challenge a deep abiding commitment and obedience to Christ through the community of the Church.It is a life style of contemplative rhythmic prayer each day, week and season. The Order serves the Church by coming alongside the Church in the service of prayer - petitionary, intercessory, thanksgiving, rejoicing and blessings.

The goal of the Order is the virtue of Love. Through SURRENDERING one’s self to Jesus Christ, coming TOGETHER as the full expression of the gathered church, the result will be LOVE FOR OTHERS. The goal of the Spiritual Order is LOVE.

Christ-likeness comes through knowledge and obedience. Prayer is the core-life of the Christian faith. A practicing Christian is a person who practices prayer.

If you desire this type of prayer, obedience, accountability and spiritual training (askesis) then request an interview with Pastor Dan Wilburn.
