As companions in community we say ‘YES’ to Availability and Vulnerability as our way of living, both to God and others. This is not something we enter into lightly.
We commit to availability, being alone with God in the cell of our own heart and to hospitality, intercession and mission.
We commit to intentional vulnerability expressed through being teachable in the discipline of prayer, saturation in the Scriptures and accountability to one another through soul friendships.
We embrace the heretical imperative to challenge assumed truth, welcome constructive criticism, affirm that relationships matter more than reputation, and will live openly among people as ‘church without walls’.
We commit that our commitment to each other will not overshadow or supercede our commitments to and relationships in and with our local communities, where God has planted us as listener’s, as shepherds, as spiritual parents and as friends. We continually recognize the primacy of our local contexts of community and mission and will always encourage one another in this direction.
-Beth and Eric
