Disciple--Quarantine Edition
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19
Now is the time! Have you felt God nudging you to come closer? To know Him more? Right now, when schedules are askew, is the perfect time to take real steps to know God more. Just ask; He's waiting for you!  Look for practical ideas to grow your love for Jesus from home right here! And as your love grows, share it generously with the world. 
Teens and Adults
Book of Revelation reading. Our current message series takes a deep look at end times. Dig into Revelation and study God's Word about end times. Use this 3 Question Study Method to dig deeper as you read each passage.  
1. What is the passage about?
2. What did you learn about God? 
3. How will you apply it?
Kids and Families
Storytime. The Jesus Storybook Bible highlights how Jesus is the center of God's great story—and their story too! From the Old Testament to the New Testament, 24 stories unfold and the Savior is revealed in each one. One of the best story Bibles available. Simple. Authentic. Jesus. 

Serve
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."  Galatians 5:14
