As part of the sessions, you will have a chance to learn what the Bible says about each topic, consider what we are doing now as a church, and make suggestions about how we could improve our ministry in each area.
Please sign up for one of these (or more if you can) and offer your views as we provide clear initiatives for our congregation for the years ahead.

Very nice job on the 5 Practices web page!
The first session of Intentional Faith Development was Tuesday night at 7:30 – there was wonderful attendance and participation – people of all ages came and were fully engaged – we learned a lot about each other and about our church. Looking forward to our next session Tuesday, March 16 at 7PM.
