Aspirations
Our aim is to keep our gatherings simple, relaxed, accessible and culturally natural as possible. We don't want to be continually extracting people from 'real life' but rather see our meetings as launching pad into the rest of our week. It is our hope that these times do not have a purely inward focus but rather resource us for the rest of our lives.
Core Values
Apostles' Creed
The Inner Journey – Connection with Jesus
a commitment to develop spiritual formation of members. Through culturally relevant and creative forms of prayer, reflection, engaging with Scripture, learning and worship TLR seeks to create an environment where people grow in their own relationship with God.
The Outer Journey – Connection with our World
a commitment to encourage and resource members on a journey of service justice and mission to others. TLR seeks to both provide opportunities for corporate mission and to support and resource individuals in their own daily mission. We seek to keep in balance our call to be counter cultural but also Incarnational and Relational in our outward journey.
Together Journey – Connection with One Another
a commitment to travel the inward and outward journeys in community. TLR seeks to develop inclusive community through hospitality, inspiration from Scripture, shared life disciplines and intentional involvement in one an others lives.
