Learn and Grow

Image of grandfather and grandson readingOur church family values life-long learning. We seek spiritual growth through the study of God's words, Christian tradition, and the sharing of experiences, all while utilizing our human reason. In other words, don’t park your brain at the door! From the smallest child learning that "Jesus loves me" on through adults who may be struggling with the ramifications of "love your enemy," spiritual growth is a continuing process. Our programs are designed to help deepen your spiritual journey and respond to God’s call in your life.
