DEVOTIONAL LOVE - DISCIPLE BELIEVERS - DEPLOY THE CHURCH
Devotional Love
Devotional love toward God and others is knowing and being known and serving and being served. Every believer experiences this love in and through worship. Worship should happen wherever the believer exists. Love gains its roots in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, where time for spiritual rhythms happen within each household through prayer, studying God’s Word, and song. God’s Word commands a pursuit of Christ that results in trusting God with our time, resources, and energy. Love is not expressed just in the individual but is fully realized when the church gathers to exercise the “one anothers” of Scripture in worship each week. Therefore, every member of Rainbow Forest should consistently worship individually and corporately.

Disciple Believers
The Great Commission commands every believer and church to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Discipleship happens as we attend worship services, join a small group, and grow deeper in discipleship. Every member of Rainbow Forest should invest their lives and God’s Word into a discipleship group (3-5 people) of same-gender believers. Jesus displays this model with Peter, James, and John. The goal is not only to see someone faithfully walking in obedience to the Lord but also ready to disciple another group on their own. The starting place of discipleship is within the home.

Deploy the Church
A deployed church is one that seeks to share the Gospel wherever God sends them. We are called to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our neighbors and to the nations and then disciple them into faithful followers. Rainbow Forest has a passion to take the gospel to those with little or no access. The goal of our church is to see churches planted here and around the world. Every member takes part by praying, giving, and/or going. We should pray God will raise up cross-cultural workers to live and serve around the world for the glory of God.
