Growing in Prayer Seminar
As those who have been set free in Christ to know God and walk with Him, we are encouraged to approach His throne of grace with confidence in prayer. Prayer is how we stay dependent upon God and continue to draw near to Him as we face the joys and challenges of everyday life. Through prayer, we experience the grace of God’s power to help us in our time of need. But prayer is not easy. Many of us struggle with cultivating healthy prayer habits in our lives. The Growing in Prayer seminar teaches about the importance of prayer and how to develop daily habits of dependence upon God.

Discipleship Course
Jesus Christ called his followers disciples. A disciple is a learner who not only learns the teachings of another but also learns their way of life and how they should apply those teachings. Since that time, Christ continues to call disciples to Himself to continue to learn and grow and we are part of that discipling process, where we personally help one another grow in Christ. This is why Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them…teaching them to observe all that I have taught you..” (Matt 28:18-20).
