Fishers of men: a disciple is committed to the mission of Jesus A fully-formed disciple of Jesus will live as Jesus lived: loving others as we love ourselves, caring for the marginalized, and sharing the good news of Jesus wherever we are. We do not have to quit our jobs and move to a foreign country to participate in the mission of Jesus. We do it right where we live and work and play. Each month on this page we will offer practical guidance on how to join Jesus in the work he is already doing in the lives of those around us.

Item List Follow me: a disciple knows and follows Jesus When we look at the life of Jesus, it is very clear that his mind and his worldview were deeply formed by the Scriptures. As we read the Gospels, we see that he was literate, conversant, and passionate about the Word of God. And he calls his followers to be the same. A disciple of Jesus needs to understand and embrace the essential teachings of the Bible. Each month we will explore an essential doctrine of God’s Word through video and print resources. We hope that you will find these helpful in your discipleship journey.

EMPOWER From Rockville to Frederick, Mt Airy to Clarksburg, and everywhere in between, the gospel is capturing hearts and spreading so quickly it's beyond human imagination. As a church, we want to make the most of this momentum to accelerate the gospel in expanding God’s kingdom. To that end, we’ve created our EMPOWER offering. The EMPOWER offering is for those who want to give above and beyond their regular tithes and offerings to accelerate the mission and vision of Cedarbrook. It is dedicated to fuel gospel movement now and in the future. Through the EMPOWER offering we are seeding investments on the future and next generation of gospel work. Our EMPOWER offering funds 4 strategic ministry initiatives: Ministry Leader Development Local and Global Missions Church Planting Digital Ministry Click on the icons below for more information on each initiative. Ministry Training Adding ministry discipleship and technical training scholarships so individuals can reach their God-given potential, in order live out their Kingdom purpose. Mission Projects Seeding innovation funds for our local and international missions partners proclaiming the gospel, and delivering Biblical justice. Church Planting Funding Gospel-centered church planting in key high-density communities throughout Montgomery, Frederick, and Howard counties. Digital Ministry Building the foundations for delivering high-impact digital ministry to bridge the gap between the physical and online church through gospel centered content. In faith, we will follow God's calling to fuel a gospel movement, by equipping the next generation of leaders and building lighthouses for the gospel—locally and around the world. I’m excited to see what God does with our faithfulness. Who knows what God might do through your generosity?

JASON BENOWITZ Music & Production Director I’m the Music & Production Director here at Cedarbrook, and I couldn’t be more grateful for my Cedarbrook family. Music and technology have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve worked in everything from “printing intern” gigs to audio engineering, learning along the way from some incredible mentors who’ve worked with bands and tours you’d definitely recognize. I’ve even had the chance to work with artists like For King & Country, Blanca, and Jesus Culture. When I’m not behind the soundboard or in rehearsal, you’ll probably find me watching baseball, adding to my card collection, or building something out of Lego. Buc-ee’s snacks and Dunkin’ runs are my favorite fuel, but the best part of my job isn’t the treats or the toys—it’s getting to use technology to help create an environment that flows with what God is already doing here at Cedarbrook. jason@cedarbrook.org

c16ef120-c153-41c6-b84d-aee6fa8f6893 I will make you become: a disciple is being changed by Jesus Jesus wants to transform us so that we become the kind of people who genuinely love God and others from the core of our being. This change in our hearts goes way beyond what our willpower and good intentions can accomplish. But, it is also not something that God will do in us without our involvement. Each month we will provide video and print resources that look at a spiritual practice, experience, or relationship that can ground us in a lifestyle of openness to God and the work he is doing in us.
