Seven Faith Practices

For the remainder of this year, we will focus our Book of Faith blog on the Seven Faith Practices of the ELCA.   Followers of Jesus are inspired to develop practices and patterns for living that characterize a life that is devoted to daily discipleship. Seven common practices have been identified as key to model and nurture:

-Pray
-Study
-Worship
-Invite
-Encourage
-Serve
-Give

For more information on each of the practices, click here.  (You can also click on each of the practices and it will take you to another page with further details on each one.)  We'll focus on each of the seven practices for a month, starting with prayer in June.  As you follow along with our writers, we encourage you to start these habits in a deliberate way.  There are many other Faith Practices such as simplicity, retreat, hospitality, and fasting but these seven form a good foundation for our practice of the Christian life.
