1. Know god – Through his word

The Bible is God’s Word, and it is our authority for life. If we want to know God, we must read His word. If we adjust our lives to what it says is true, right, and best, we will experience a better way to live. (2 Timothy 3:16, John 17:2) 

2. Trust Jesus

No matter what you have done wrong or what has been done wrong to you, we believe it is still possible to reconnect back into an intimate relationship with God, made possible by grace through faith in Jesus alone. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:8)

3. Led by the spirit

We believe that living life with God and with one another involves implementing an intentional strategy to know the One, True God, eliminate any obstacles or negative, untrue responses that stand against God’s truth, and engaging with God by serving God and our neighbor through our time, abilities and finances. (John 1:17)

4. UNITED IN MISSION

Using our spiritual gifts, talents, abilities, physical and financial resources, passions, and creativity, we believe that it is our role and responsibility to create excellent environments and eliminate any and all obstacles so that lost and broken people have the best opportunity to encounter (bump into) Jesus and begin a life-changing journey with Him. (Colossians 3:17) 

5. Engage in the great commission - go

Because of what Jesus has done for us, we believe the most loving thing we can do for others is to go to them and invite others to come and see who Jesus is and what He has done for them. (Mark 2:1-28, Matthew 28:1-20)

The 5Rs of Spiritual Formation

At Flatirons, we know faith isn’t a straight line—it’s a journey. It begins long before we ever come to a place of putting our faith in Jesus, and once we do, the journey continues as we learn to trust Him with more and more of our lives. Along the way, we all experience seasons of growth, struggle, and renewal.

Spiritual formation isn’t just about believing in Jesus—it’s about living out the faith of Jesus in our relationships, our decisions, and our everyday lives.

That’s why we use the 5Rs of Spiritual Formation—a framework that helps us recognize where we are in our faith journey and take intentional steps forward. No matter where you find yourself, there’s always an opportunity to grow, deepen your faith, and live it out in real ways.

So, where are you on the journey? Explore the 5Rs, our environments, and resources below, and take your next step toward a deeper, more meaningful walk with Jesus.
