| | Worship | |
| Here at TUMI we center our life and ministry together around the Word and the Lord's Table. We share the Lord's presence in common, worshiping God together, reading the Scriptures, confessing our sins and making intercession for each other in prayer. We hear from the Word of God, and climax our times with a reverent celebration of the redemption and resurrection of Christ in the Eucharist. This is a template we use for our services. Throughout the year we recognize the various seasons and special holy days of the Church Year and emphasize our yearly theme in our readings and prayer. |

| The Efficiency of Dynamic Standardization | Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis | |
| | Church Planting | |
| Rapidly reproducing healthy churches among the poor establish processes that all its members submit to and joyfully practice. Vital church planting movements form, nourish, and multiply their churches in ways which allow them to leverage and coordinate their scarce resources, all for the good of each church in the movement. Aggressive advances of the Kingdom of God through integrated church planting movements allow for standardization, i.e., the ability for Christian workers, missionaries, pastors, and congregations to employ a common set of values, resources, practices, and structures to establish, sustain, and multiply its members, leaders, congregations, and church plants. |

| Elements of an Urban Church Planting Movement | Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis | |
| | Church Planting | |
| The unique nature of unreached urban poor communities demands that we carefully distinguish the ways in which church planting movements will spawn and grow within them, as the Lord leads. With the mind-numbing cultural diversity, the complex kinship relationships, the racial and class barriers, and the spiritual challenges of the city, we will do well to think long and critically about how the various elements of a potentially viable urban church planting movement will play out. This mind map highlights the key missional, theological, and spiritual realities and structures that will provide for healthy evangelical church planting movements. Further, it gives a blueprint for a new paradigm of urban church community, the kind which as it grows can lead to the unreached city's salvation and healing. |
