The staff has taken a deep look into the formation hour on Sunday morning. While we believe formation is a crucial part of our Sunday morning experience, we haven't always done a great job communicating its value to the larger church. This fall, we are beginning with a great series by John Mark Comer entitled, "Practicing the way" (See description below). But beyond the content, we are redoubling our efforts to promote rich relational space on Sunday morning. This will include consistent small group, intentional time of connection and quarterly social gathering outside of Sunday morning. We invite you to consider joining one of these small groups on Sunday Mornings beginning September 8th.

John Mark Comer's Practicing the Way

"Following Jesus has long been likened to a spiritual journey. When Jesus invited his first disciples to “follow” him on the “way,” he was simultaneously saying that discipleship to him is a lifelong path. This Course is just a primer. It’s designed to get you started on the journey of spiritual formation, help you get unstuck if you’ve stalled out, or just guide you into taking your next step. Ultimately, its goal is to train you to live as an apprentice of Jesus: to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did."
