The Local Church is an unapologetically inclusive, Jesus-centered community committed to helping you take your next step on the way of Jesus. We believe faith is about more than just what you believe; it should impact how you live and move in the world. One way we can help you do this is through our weekly Rhythm of Life.

What is the Rhythm of Life?

The Rhythm of Life is a collection of practices and resources designed to help you stay connected to God, our community, and your own spiritual journey throughout the week. It includes:

• 📖 The Read Along: a weekly Bible reading plan featuring two passages each week to keep you anchored in the story of God. It usually connects to the previous Sunday's scripture and message.

• 👣 Next Step: a simple, tangible practice or a thought-provoking question that carries Sunday into the rest of the week so that good ideas don't stay ideas

• 🙏 The Praylist: a weekly digest of concerns and celebrations for one another, the community, and the world. These prayers come from those offered each week during our Sunday gathering and also include morning and evening prayers from The Methodist Book of Daily Prayer,

• 💡 ICYMI: a midweek Sunday recap in short form featuring quotables and takeaways from the Sunday message,

• 💤 A Prayer to Welcome the Sabbath: a prayer and quotation to welcome the Sabbath into your life and mark time to begin a different rhythm of rest and renewal as the weekend begins.

Why Participate in the Rhythm of Life?

Following the way of Jesus is a continuous journey, and it’s one we do together. We want to be with and for you along the way, and the TLC Rhythm of Life helps us enter into rhythms that form us well as a community. Through listening for the voice of God in Scripture (The Read Along), putting our faith into action (Next Step Practice), carrying one another in prayer (The Praylist), taking time to reflect (ICYMI), and pausing to rest (Sabbath) we are formed to be agents of love in God’s world.
