LEARN THE WAY
"Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace." - Matthew 11:29-30 (MSG)
Practicing The Way is a program we are introducing as a bridge between Alpha and Abide that will help you establish a new lifestyle as a follower of Jesus. This program will guide you in making space in your life to be with Jesus, become like Him and do as He did.
If you've done Alpha here at GCF, you'll find Practicing The Way to be very similar in format, with a video each week that incorporates discussion in small groups. Pastor Brett will be your host each Monday evening; the course will run for 8 weeks in the fall and in the spring. Our next Practicing the Way course will begin in March 2026.
Practice Deep Dives
Practicing the Way introduces nine spiritual practices that Jesus modeled for us in his own life: prayer; scripture; service; community; generosity; sabbath; fasting; solitude and witness.
The team at Practicing the Way have developed a 4-week teaching series -- we're calling them "Deep Dives" -- on each of those practices. We expect to offer practice Deep Dives three times a year, exploring all nine over time and then repeating!
There are no prerequisites for joining a Deep Dive, everyone is welcome!
The next Deep Dive we're going to offer will be on the practice of Fasting starting January 19th! It will be finished just in time for the start of Lent...see what we did there? See dates & details in the calendar below, and sign up here!
