Rule of Benedict

Let us get up … at long last, for the Scriptures rouse us when they say, “It is high time for us to arise from sleep (Romans 13:11).” Let us open our eyes to the light that comes from God, and our ears to the voice from heavens that every day calls out its charge: “If you hear God’s voice today, do not harden your hearts (Psalm 95:8).”

Next Steps

Abbey Way is a faith community which is committed to an integrative and wholistic approach to living in Christ supported by common spiritual practice and corporate rhythms. We understand church is more than a gathering on Sunday for worship but also includes an on-going intentional learning and growing in opening our hearts and lives daily to each other and the world as Jesus instructs.

If you would like to find out more about Abbey Way Covenant Church, here are a few things you can do.

First, schedule a visit with us. Before you come, be sure to read about our intergenerational philosophy of inclusion here and here.

Second, sign up for our Email Newsletter to get the latest news about Abbey Way.

Third, read Seeking God by Esther de Waal. This book is one of the best resources to give understanding of what the “abbey way” is all about.

Fourth, participation at Abbey Way is about a commitment to intentional relationships formed and shaped by spiritual practices. Questions to consider: Where are you currently connected to others? How do these relationships help you sustain your life in God? What spiritual practices give you life? Are you willing to make space for new relationships and ways of encountering God? Read more about Abbey Way’s common practices and principles. Consider making space for biblical meditation (lectio), going on a silent retreat, or praying The Divine Hours.

Fifth, get to know someone at Abbey Way. Talk to them about their experience.

Sixth, read about Abbey Way’s partners and leadership.
