The Disciple Education and
Resources Ministry of
our church has a vision to see the entirety of our congregation
actively involved in Christ-centered discipleship. Christian
education plays a large part in empowering disciples in their
ministries. Acts 20:24 states “Life is worth nothing unless I use it
for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus –the work of
telling others the Good News about God’s mighty kindness and love.”
Small group studies help us to more clearly express our faith.
Please become involved in a small group this fall as we work to meet
your needs and God’s command to go and make disciples.
