OVERVIEW:
Based on the book by the same title by Richard Foster, this series is aimed at introducing spiritual disciplines to the average lay person and giving them a pathway to experiment with them. The Word “discipline” and “disciple” come from the same root word which means “learner”. Discipline is not as much about self-mortification as it is about training, developing, maturing, and growing in a certain direction. The disciplines cover the three areas of discipleship, community, and mission.

OVERVIEW:
Our Vision is to be a hub through which the unconditional love and friendship of Jesus meets people where they are and transforms lives. In 2018, we begin a 3rd year journeying through this vision. Where are we after two years? How is God calling us to live into an even fuller realization of this future? The first chapter of Mark gives us a beautiful ideal to reflect upon in the life and ministry of Jesus.
