PRACTICING

THE WAY

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FOLLOW JESUS?

Jesus invites you to practice his ways together with others in community. We invite you to be a part of Midtown Communities and Discipleship Huddles, and use the resources we develop on this page to help you follow Jesus with us. Together we can…

BE WITH JESUS

BECOME LIKE JESUS

DO WHAT JESUS DID

WE BELIEVE

Following Jesus is a way of life.  It’s not something we just do on Sunday mornings.  It’s a way of life that requires learning from Jesus and learning from those who have learned from Jesus.  It’s only in the context of community that we can learn to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did.

MIDTOWN COMMUNITIES

are the place where we practice the way of Jesus together in Austin.

DISCIPLESHIP HUDDLES

are same-gender groups of 3 to 5 who meet weekly to help each other become more like Jesus.

IN AUSTIN AS IT IS IN HEAVEN

When Jesus called his disciples to follow him, it was a call to be with him, to become like him, and to do what he did. His call is the same for us today. When we become more like Jesus, Austin will become a lot more like heaven.

BE WITH JESUS

John 15:1-8. To become like Jesus, we first must be with him and remain in him. To be with Jesus, we must adopt the lifestyle of Jesus.

BECOME LIKE JESUS

Luke 6:39-40. Jesus invites his followers to become like him, and it’s something that we really can do. We can become like him. To become like Jesus, we need to be aware of the unintentional ways the world is influencing us and give ourselves to the practices of Jesus that keep us rooted in him.

DO WHAT JESUS DID

Matthew 4:18-25. Jesus invited his disciples to not only watch his life and ministry but to join him in it. He trained them to do what he did.
