T.R.A.I.L. Home

I AM ON THE T.R.A.I.L. HOME.

I have not arrived.

I am choosing to align my life more fully with Jesus Christ.

I will seek truth, cherish relationships, accept accountability for my choices, live with integrity, live as a disciple of Jesus Christ, and walk in humility—not to earn His love, but because He is leading me home.

Wherever I am today, I will take one more step toward Him.

WHAT UNITES US

Shared centerJesus Christ — His grace, His example, His commandments, and His call to follow Him.

Shared responseTruth, Christlike love, moral responsibility, integrity, disciplined discipleship, and humility.

Room for doctrineChristians can disagree about authority, grace and free will, sacraments, church government, and other doctrines while sharing these commitments.

WHAT T.R.A.I.L. HOME DOES NOT MEAN

Not salvation by six principles. These commitments do not save us. Jesus Christ saves us. They describe how His disciples seek to respond to His grace.
Not doctrinal uniformity. Using the symbol does not require acceptance of another denomination's distinctive theology.
Not endorsement. Use of the mark does not imply endorsement of the author, book, publisher, sponsoring organization, or another church.
Not a replacement for your church. It is a reminder that can live inside the discipleship work Christians are already doing.

THE SHARED INVITATION

Follow Jesus Christ. Love as He loves. Choose what is right. Live with integrity. Practice faithful discipleship. Depend humbly on His grace.
