ae2c3f52-757a-4aa3-b165-588710781846 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.

7d7a7c2a-9c34-4733-aec9-2fe5483ee858 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.

NEXT STEPS This three-week, Sunday evening gathering is an opportunity for you to spend time with some of our pastors, meet some new friends, and continue building relationships with those you have already met. In addition to encouraging these new relationships, we will be seeking to help you take the next steps in your personal spiritual journey. In this class, we will explore what it looks like to live as a follower of Jesus in the 21st century, and how the church is indispensable if we are going to follow him well. We will talk about the centrality of spiritual practices and spiritual gifts in your life and help you identify some tangible next steps that you can take that will build these into the rhythm of your daily life. Through the new discoveries that you make and the new friendships you develop, our desire is that you come to a place where you are able to say, “This is my church. This is the family that I want to connect, grow, and serve with.” OUR MEMBERSHIP CLASS SIGN UP Upcoming Class starts May 31 6:30-8:30pm
