TiE Values

Neither spiritual formation nor a missional engagement with the world can be something we add to an over busy, already out of control life. We must be followers of Jesus for the sake of others within the existing contexts, rhythms and routines of our actual present life—not some different life we hope for, but never comes.

Otherlyness is our core spiritual practice.

We do not believe that God would ask us to be his cooperative friends—and then make it impossible for us to cooperate with him in daily practice.

We value the Holy Spirit as our guide and source of character and power, interacting with him in conversational ways, without hype or pretense.

We desire that others enter life in the Kingdom. We enjoy making Jesus, and the way of Jesus known.
Three is Enough is not the next big thing. The only Big Thing is to follow Jesus as an ambassador of the kingdom in such a way that those around us experience our follower-ship us for their good.
TiE is not critical of church; rather it helps the church be “the sent people of God” in every aspect of human life.

Grace is for the whole journey, not just conversion.

Righteousness, peace and joy of the Kingdom, replaces neurotic religiosity.

This life matters, not just the life to come.
