Life to Life Discipleship
Posted September 25, 2018 By adminOur Life to Life Discipleship program has kicked off with the beginning of two small group studies. Just as the twelve apostles learned from their Master, Life to Life is an opportunity for church family members to study the Scriptures with their pastor and be equipped to become examples of a living faith. Over time, our small groups will expand, and more church members will become a part of this ministry. In time, we will see a discipling culture emerge where people joyfully live out their faith, seeking God’s kingdom first, while sharing their faith with others. This is exactly how the apostles built the Church, and how it grew stronger over time. Meeting people where they are, sharing faith, and growing the church one life at a time.

Also, team leaders don’t forget to complete facility request forms if you need to reserve a room or location for your meetings so they can be approved by the Council and put on the calendar.

Posted September 25, 2018 By adminIn this “electronic age” we need to have up-to-date contact information in order to keep the congregation informed. If your contact information (home phone, cell or email) has changed, please let us know so you won’t miss out on important church news and happenings. We especially need to know if your land line telephone has been removed and you are using only cell phones. You can indicate changes on the friendship register page, use a “Change of Address” form in the pew racks or call the church.
