We are committed to the positive transformation of lives resulting from a loving and personal encounter with Jesus Christ
Spiritual growth is a process. To get, and to keep, a good handle on the adventure, we need to remember where we have come from, remain aware of where we are now, and rehearse what we need to be and where we are going. The questions we ask along the path enable us to recognize and affirm growth when it happens, and cautions us to anticipate the dangers and pitfalls along the journey ahead.
"What will it look like?” and “How will we recognize it?” are common, and necessary, questions that need to be addressed.
