Non-negotiable D2NA –

“Four activities command our attention.”


Once the newborn Church inhaled its first breath, the Holy Spirit started leading God’s people to immerse themselves in four activities that are timelessly useful for spiritual formation and impact. These elements of “DNA” are still the primary means God uses to vitally connect us with Himself, each other and the world around us. Churches are most healthy when everyone involved is devoted to maintaining a balanced diet of all four (the first two of which serve a single purpose).

Divine connection (loving God) via devoting ourselves to:

1. God’s word – Helping us grow an understanding, trusting, loving and obedient relationship with God.

2. Prayer/Praise – Helping us cultivate a personal, humble, attentive and adoring interaction with God. (This also includes learning how to listen to him together.)

Nurturing relationships (loving other believers) – Developing lots of open, generous and mutually edifying connections with each other.

Apostolic mission (loving unbelievers) – Meaningfully connecting with the world around us and significantly impacting it with the love and truth of Christ.
