Our rhythms

are rooted

in our

heartbeat.

  • Before it was called Christianity, it was called "the Way." Jesus is our way to true life. And thus, adoring Him is our primary calling. His way was meant to be practiced, cultivated, and grown in. Much of our time together looks like helping activate, encourage, and develop one-another as we follow Jesus together in the ordinary moments of life and in every season of life. We pray, read Scripture, and develop rhythms of seeking to live His way together.

  • Within our church communities, much of life happens around tables. Something happens when we eat together. There is a sacred deepening of our relationships as who we really are begins to manifest beyond the superficial. Tables become primary places of welcoming where the hurting, lonely, curious, and even our enemies, can find a taste of family.

  • Church was never meant to be just a one hour service. Though we value and practice extended times of collective gatherings, our primary structure of 12-20 is small enough for people to find and enjoy rhythms of life together. We worship together and play together. We grieve and celebrate life together. We work and create together. As family, we seek to be in life's rhythms in the formal and informal and planned and spontaneous.

  • Our hearts are hardwired for story. More information is not the solution to deeper transformation. Therefore we practice sharing our story and listening to others as we gather for weekly meals. We share the story of Jesus and seek to allow our story to be formed by His story.

  • In a distracted world, embodied presence is an important practice. We see ourselves as Kingdom ambassadors who live full, deep lives in our cities. We seek to share Jesus, serve our city, and weave ourselves into the fabric of our neighborhoods to embody the Good News and bring the Shalom of God right where we are.

Our heartbeat

is found

in our

story.

  • When God wants to move, he often stirs in upcoming generations. Revivals, reformations, and movements are often incubated on campuses and among young adults. There’s an ancient cry rumbling, an old movement awakening. The ancient call has gone forth. It’s a movement bigger than any of us and one that will take all of us to complete. It's time again.

  • In 2004, what started as two college graduates traveling overseas for a gap year, birthed a movement that spread across college campuses in a closed nation. In one of the leader's own words, “My life was turned upside down. As two inexperienced young men who were simply willing to be used by God, we saw things we never imagined: we saw our friends receive Christ and get baptized in our bathtub. We started a new church on our campus. We saw miraculous healings and regularly answered prayers. And we saw our own lives transformed from the inside out. After that year we asked ourselves: What if this isn’t just for us?"

  • Inspired, trained, and mentored by underground campus leaders, Cultivate Network was born in 2023. Cultivate's heart is to see a movement of Jesus followers in the next generation marked by true spiritual family, an authentic life of following Jesus, and with a belief that they could cultivate the Kingdom of God wherever they are.
