Following Jesus
FOLLOWING JESUS IS ALL ABOUT TRANSFORMATION
From fear to hope.
From lost to found.
From death to life.
Discipleship is the process of transformation for someone who is following Jesus. Day by day, year by year, through moments of joy and mountains of pain, God is transforming us to be more and more like him.
It's not a program or a prescribed set of steps to earn something. Discipleship is a journey. It's a journey toward God, toward being transformed into his image, and it's a journey that is best taken with other people who can help you see God more clearly.
There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to discipleship, so we offer different environments for you to grow and learn. One of these environments is your next step of discipleship!
DISCIPLESHIP STEPS
YOU CAN TAKE HERE
1
Worship Gatherings
Every Sunday at 9:30am and 11:00am we gather together for a worship full life-giving encouragement and Bible-based hope.
2
Small Groups
Small groups are ongoing groups of people who experience life together in Christian community by meeting weekly and encouraging each other in the everyday events of life.
3
Bible Studies and Classes
Bible studies and classes generally last 4-8 weeks and cover books of the Bible and relevant topics like conflict resolution, financial health, marriage, and caring for vulnerable people.
4
Serving
Every part of our church and our ministry is carried out by people volunteering their time and energy to become a community who sees and shares the hope of Jesus together.
5
Giving
It is a step of discipleship to commit to being
generous with your finances in the local church. Giving is
an act of worship
and
an act of faith, and it
makes an impact here and around the world.
INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Beyond formal discipleship environments, the best way to connect and grow here is to get involved in the life of the church. We offer events throughout the year that gather the whole church together (usually with some great food!) and some ministry groups that gather people of similar life stages or genders together.
All Church Events
We really like being together and doing things with each other! Sometimes we invite food trucks to show up after church so we can have a fun lunch, sometimes we get together outside for a worship night, sometimes we gather in a local park to attend a community concert.
Women's Ministry
Women's Ministry shares the hope of Jesus as they encourage each other and build each other up. Gatherings throughout the year are causal and open as they pursue value of spiritual growth, social connection, wellness, and making an impact.
Men's Ministry
Men's ministry gathers men of all ages together for times of encouragement, fun, Bible Study, and service. There is a regular men's Bible Study on the first Saturday of the month and other events throughout the year.
JOY 55+
JOY 55+ is an informal group for anyone over the age of 55 to find fellowship and encouragement. The group meets at different points throughout the year to share meals and laughter and stay connected to each other.
