A Note from Pastor Tom
Someone once said, "The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice." I believe YOU have the gift and the skill – all that remains is a choice!

I hope you'll choose to continue to learn since life-long learning is the basis of our role as a “disciple” (follower of Jesus Christ).

We're grateful to offer a multitude of discipleship classes online to help each of us at different intersections of our life. Please visit our Discipleship page to discover an area God may be leading you to continue His good work of transformation.

Lin Pernille said something we all know to be true: “Never stop learning because life never stops teaching.” I'm so excited to continue doing life with you and, in the midst of it all, keep on learning with you.

Blessings on you and your family as we begin 2021 with a renewed commitment to grow in our relationship with the Lord!
