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 simple, flexible way to stay grounded in faith and connected to God, our community, and your spiritual journey throughout the week. Designed to fit into your busy life, it helps you cultivate meaningful rhythms of reflection, prayer, and action—one small step at a time. Whether you’re looking to deepen your faith or explore it for the first time, the Rhythm of Life meets you where you are.

• 📖 The Read Along: A weekly Bible reading plan featuring passages to anchor you in the story of God. These readings often connect with the previous Sunday’s scripture and message, making it easy to stay rooted in the journey.

• 👣 Next Step: A simple, tangible practice or thought-provoking question to carry Sunday into the rest of the week. Because good ideas shouldn’t just stay ideas.

• 🙏 The Praylist: A weekly digest of prayer concerns and celebrations, including prayers from our Sunday gathering and daily prayers from The Methodist Book of Daily Prayer.

• 💡 ICYMI: A midweek recap with inspiring quotes and insights from Sunday’s message to encourage and guide you through the week.

• 💤 A Prayer to Welcome the Sabbath: As the weekend begins, pause to rest and renew with a prayer and quotation to help you embrace the rhythm of Sabbath.

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.
