This summer + fall, we’re inviting our church into a season of spiritual formation centered around the image in Psalm 1—a tree planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in every season. Just as healthy trees produce fruit by first developing deep roots, followers of Jesus bear spiritual fruit by rooting themselves in the practices that connect them to the person and power of God. 

​

To help each person grow deep roots in Christ, we’ll focus on five core practices: Word, Prayer, Witness, Service, and Community. Each of these practices are ways to “draw water” from the life of God. When practiced regularly, they help form us into people who reflect Jesus and naturally bear fruit in our character, relationships, and mission.

​

This is not just a teaching series—it’s an invitation to participate. We want every person at Elm City Church to experience real spiritual growth by putting these practices into action. Click on each action word above to be directed to where you can start.
