Summer Growth Group Semester (June 12 - August 14) "Following Jesus Together"

Jesus took these disciples on a journey together so they could become like Him and be His sent ones (apostles) to the world. If you face each situation they faced and respond like they did, you will be Jesus' disciples indeed and in deed.

This Fall semester (September 12- November 21) our theme is "Radical: Taking your faith back from the American dream." Based on the best- selling book, you will be invited to encounter what Jesus actually said about being His disciple and then to obey what you have heard. You will also be challenged to live the "Radical Experiment," a one year journey of discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that has so many needs. Growth Group member books are $3 and Life Journals will be sold for $6.

Don't feel like you have to figure it all out by yourself. I'm here to help - just call me and we'll work it out together! This Sunday Pastor Tommy will be making an announcement asking for returning leaders and new leaders to step forward for the Summer Semester.
