To participate in Abbey Way is to engage in an intentional way of living a shared life in God that is grounded in an ordinary, purposeful engagement in life as it is. We claim a very basic theological truth as central to our living: God is present in all parts of our life. We believe all of life is then sacred, filled with the God's holiness and love. There is no where we can go, there is no experience we can have, which God is not already there ready to meet us. Our spirituality is one of wholeness. Wholeness in Christ. Wholeness in our choices. Wholeness in our relational connections. We dare to believe that the Spirit is active among us, leading us and guiding us as we submit ourselves in humility to God and each other. We desire to be Christ followers with our hearts wide open, ever expanding to the wonder and mystery of God all around us, obedient and faithful to the voice of God in our lives, both alone and together, centering our lives in Jesus, walking in God’s good way. We choose to ask, listen, see and respond to what God is doing in our midst: in us, with us, through us, and between us. Knowing we are always in process, we desire to be a community who stops to notice and name the Spirit’s movement in order to discover what it means to be God’s people today, in this place. Built on the foundations of healthy spiritual relationships full of kinship and kindness, shared spiritual practices of prayer and reflection, and corporate rhythms of worship, study, retreat and service, Abbey Way desires to be continually renewed in our formation as a Christ centered faith community that reflects our Lord in generous welcome to everyone.
