Go Further
Parish life is not just about getting involved, but is about growing as a Christian.
We see Christian life as elements of a tree that come together to help it grow and be healthy: deep roots, a solid trunk, many branches, lively leaves and good fruits. Each element reflects one of the ‘five essentials’ of Christian life.
“We would like our parish community to be more and more missionary disciples through living the five essentials for our Spiritual life.”
“He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
The ‘Five Essentials’ of Christian Life
Church life helps us to develop the five aspects that are essential to Christian life: fellowship, worship, discipleship, ministry, and witnessing through invitation.
