Acts 2:42 "And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers." (ESV)
The early believers were "devoted" or "steadfastly continuing" in four activities that set them up for success in the Kingdom. This means they were likely doing these four things every day, or as close to daily as possible. The mission of Estero Ekklesia is to inspire believers to live an Acts 2 42 lifestyle.
