what are the 3 loves & 4 commitments?

4 commitments (serve, grow, give, live) — a connected people

• serve regularly in missional communities and discipleship [serve in one missional community as our fellowship of believers]
• grow in personal holiness [embrace a holistic biblical worldview regarding our entire life: work, play, sexuality, resources, family, future, etc—believing Jesus is Lord over all of life]
• give 10% of your income as a tithe [worship God with our finances, agreeing that 10% has served as a healthy measure of generosity throughout biblical history, and giving above and beyond to ministries outside the Gathering Network as so led]
• live an evangelistic lifestyle [share the gospel in words and deeds in our city, state, nation, to the ends of the earth]

3 loves — a covenant people

• love God (UP): and be loved by him [spend generous time in private and corporate prayer and study of God’s word]
• love each other (IN): and disciple each other in community [make disciples who make disciples who make disciples …]
• love the world (OUT): share Jesus generously and always [pray for opportunities to share the gospel in words and deeds]
