Church Wide Book Study

After twenty plus members completed the study of “Transforming Congregational Culture” by Anthony B. Robinson over the summer, they came to the same, unified conclusion: “More of our congregation needs to experience this study!” Focusing on a range of topics from culture change to God’s call for us to be instruments of transformation, this study is for anyone who has a heart for Christ and his church. Led by Pastor Joe, this six session series will meet weekly from October 6^th – November 21st (with a break the week of October 25th). Two in person options are available: Sundays from 10:00-10:50am & Wednesdays from 1:00-2:30pm. Wednesday’s sessions are specifically designed with non-readers in mind. There is also a Thursday 7-8pm Zoom option.
