Followers of the Way

The Followers of the Way is a lay holy order made up of dedicated Christian men and women, united by a passion to grow ever closer to God the Father in Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We are brought together by a conscious and burning desire to live more deeply daily lives of consecrated devotion and service, to the glory of God and the furtherance of His Kingdom.

To this end we have made a commitment to be members together, following a Rule or Way of Life, and serving as active participants in the life of the community.

First and foremost is our focus on the Lord, on our growing in intimacy, love and adoration of the Triune God Who first loved us. Then, sustained in and guided by a spirit of humility, we seek to foster the holy aspects of this relationship in one another in faith, hope, and love, and to serve both the Church and the world in the outpouring of our hearts’ worship.

Although we do not live in physical community, we are in affiliation with our mother-house, The Abbey of The Way in Worcester, MA., and use its Way of Virtue as a template as we each craft a Way or Rule of Life. We come from various church traditions, but are in agreement with the doctrine and discipline of the faithful church as described in The Holy Scriptures and interpreted in the historic ecumenical Creeds.
