Our Lifestyle
The Storyline Community is held together as much by a set of core practices as it is a set of core beliefs. Storyline is a fundamentally a community of Jesus-followers — in other words, a community of people who seek to imitate the lifestyle of Jesus in their own lives.
Becoming a part of Storyline, therefore, means that one chooses to take on Storyline’s lifestyle (=way of following Jesus) and be accountable to the community for living it out.
Storyline’s lifestyle has five rhythms:
- Sharing life with disconnected or downtrodden friends at least weekly
- Tending to our spiritual growth in formation groups weekly
- Opening to God through prayer and Scripture daily
- Rallying with our spiritual family at least weekly
- Yielding our resources to the mission at least monthly
Lifestyle DNA is Storyline’s boot camp for training prospective Storyliners in the STORY lifestyle. It lasts seven weeks and consists of weekly meetings, readings, and real-life practice of each rhythm of Storyline’s lifestyle. Those who fully invest in the process are invited to partner with the Storyline Community in mission and commissioned in one of Storyline’s Community Gatherings.
