Diablo Valley have chosen to live. These pastors

and churches, are pursuing ways to work together to

better serve God and serve people. We seek follow the

model of Jesus as we grow UP (worship/prayer/preaching)

in our relationship and responsibilities with God,

IN (community/fellowship) with our relationship and

responsibilities with one another and OUT (

mission) together in our relationship and responsibilities

to the community/world where we live. 

“Church Without Shoes” recalls the servant model of Jesus.

On the night He was betrayed, He removed the disciple’s shoes,

Judas’ as well (John 13). He washed their feet and charged

them to serve in the world in the same way.

When we serve God and people together this way,

discipleship becomes worship as we become an affirming

“Yes” to Jesus’ prayer and plan in John 17:-21 (NLT):

My prayer for all of them is that they will be one,

just as you and I are one, Father–that just as you are in me

and I am in you, so they will be in us, and the world

will believe you sent me.

Begin by thinking of “church without shoes” as a verb

wrapped around the three key relationships in Jesus life;

UP with the Father, IN with our community and OUT

an affect in the world.  Church without shoes is a way of

doing life together and in the world, a way Jesus

showed us to live and a told us to follow.

In one of the most intimate moments with His disciples

Jesus shows us how we should think and relate to one

another. We are to be servants. Submitted before the

hands of Jesus we let go of our pride and embrace

His servant example. So he got up from the table,

took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist,

and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash

the disciples’ feet. . . . John 13

Church Without Shoes is a way of remembering Jesus’

example and saying, “Underneath all our pride, our best

dreams and ambitions, even our denominational expressions,

we are really the same; we are people who need Jesus’

cleansing touch and we need to serve one another

and the world the way He has shown us.”
