POWER OF DISCIPLESHIP
Jesus invites each of us to discipleship – the intentional journey to follow Jesus more deeply, to become more like him, and help others do the same. It’s a simple invitation with a life-long impact. Today, we begin this series where we will dig into the power of discipleship as we follow Jesus together.
DISCIPLEMAKER GATHERING
We want to invite you to our next disciplemaker gathering on Sunday, August 25th from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in the Cafe area of the South campus. This is for anyone who is currently discipling someone, curious about discipling someone, or serving in any of our ministries. It will be a time of encouragement, vision casting, and practical training. We will break into two groups. There will be new content for those who were at the past trainings, and we will cover some of the basics for those interested in discipling someone. Hope to see you there!
