Growing in God's Word and God's Work


 
Jesus said it well,

"If you continue you in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free."

And,
"Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, sister, mother."

We invite you to "continue" in the word and work of God through daily devotions, active prayer, conversation at home and in work groups, discussion groups and Bible studies. Please review the many options available and choose those places where you can grow into mature discipleship. Welcome.
