Through and To
When Jesus said, "follow me," he blew up the "first round draft pick" approach of the day and chose ordinary people to follow him, thrusting them into a 24/7 apprenticeship for which they were not qualified...by the world's standards.
The first twelve spent roughly three years with Jesus. That's over 26,000 hours. Discipleship is a slow, long walk. We cannot be empowered, equipped, and released to make disciples by attending church 50 hours a year…but we can grow as we go.
Follow our podcast on your favorite platform or right here on our website. We will have sermons, conversations with current disciples, and short teachings about discipleship, leadership, and life. Will we get to 26,000 hours? Not likely. But there's tremendous value in going together.

Find Healing
When disciples - the people who are learning, practicing, and reproducing the way of Jesus - carry out the Bible’s commands for living in community, regardless of where or how we worship, we will impact the places where we live, learn, work, and play. Jesus put it this way, “by this they will know you are my disciples, that you love one another as I have loved you.”
“Finding Community” means finding healing.
