It is our sincere hope that you will be charged and challenged to grow with us.
As it is important that you complete all four weeks of the course, if for some reason you are unable to attend our scheduled class, please call the office at the number listed below.
You will need a Bible, pen or pencil, and paper if you prefer to take notes.

| Week I L – Lord |
Week II I – IDENTITY "Whoever I am, Thou knowest Lord, I am Thine." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer This week we will examine ourselves to discover/uncover how God works in the lives of people, having met them where they are. |
Week III F – Foundations What are the fundamental aspects of our faith and what are the basic tools necessary for fruitful life in Jesus Christ? |
Week IV E – Empowerment "Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving" – Colossians 2:7 (KJV) With all that we have discussed, we believe that you too, can be an effective witness by A) becoming involved with some aspect of ministry within this ministry, B) encouraging others to join you in worship, and C) committing yourself to becoming a faithful steward of the talents, gifts and resources that God has given you. |
