Fire - Communion
(Worship)
Hebrews 12:29 - "For our God is a consuming fire."
The Element of Fire represents the experience of entering God's presence through worship. In worship we commune with our God through singing, prayer, the Lord's Supper, and the exercise of various spiritual disciplines. Like Moses removed his sandals before the presence of God in the burning bush, so we treat worship as a sacred experience.
Water - Community
(Fellowship)
1 Cor. 12:13 - "But we have all been baptized into Christ's body by one Spirit.."
The Element of Water represents the fellowship of all believers, united by baptism into the Body of Christ. Like water, Community is essential to the life of the believer. Through small groups, events, and corporate worship we seek to form an oasis where those searching for genuine love and acceptance can come and drink deeply.
Wind - Commission
(Discipleship)
Acts 17:28 - "For in Him we live, move, and exist."
The Element of Wind represents the Spirit's movement in the life of every believer. When we seek to follow the Spirit we are attempting to move, live, and exist in God's presence. This is the essence of being a Disciple of Jesus Christ.
Earth - Connection
(Ministry/ Evangelism)
John 15:5 - "I am the vine; you are the branches."
The Element of Earth represents the believers' responsibility to be an extension of God's kingdom on earth. God has gifted each of us and we are responsible to use those gifts to connect people with God's love for them. Through serving others we become God's hands and feet
