Discipleship Pathway
Join us as we talk about the importance of having a Discipleship Pathway in the church. What is the process for making disciples of Jesus Christ as a church? How do all of our ministries work together so that people are becoming more like Jesus? This sermon will both challenge and inspire each one of us to become passionate disciples of Jesus Christ and fishers of men!
Nursery care for children 0-2 is available all morning. Children’s Church is offered during the 11:00 service for kids age 3-5.
Sunday, May 30 we will begin preaching through the fascinating book of 1 Corinthians. Even in the early church there were all kinds of issues, problems, distractions and sinful behaviors. Paul wrote 1 Corinthians to bring spiritual renewal to a church that was in desperate need of it. Week in and week out we will find this book to be incredibly relevant for our day and time. We will learn what it means to be a healthy, gospel-centered, unified Church that makes a difference in the six counties all around us. Hope you and your family will join us!
We encourage you to fill out the online Friendship Register when you worship with us online or in person. You can share prayer requests, ask questions about our ministries, or just let us know that you’d like someone to contact you.
