S.T.E.P. Ministry

 
(Spiritual Training & Equipping Process)
This is our ministry of training people to do “the work of the ministry.” These training sessions are regularly held as part of our mid-week ministry as well as at other times periodically. Each S.T.E.P. training fits in one of four tracks to help you take the next step in your spiritual journey:
 
1. Training in the Word of God—Since God’s Word is truth, one cannot rightly live apart from an accurate understanding of it. This track offers the opportunity to grow in the knowledge of the Word of God.
 
2. Training in the Work of God—This track equips people to go beyond learning “what to do” to learning “how to do it.”
 
3. Training in the Ways of God—In this track we apply the truth of God’s Word to how you think so that your world view is shaped accurately by God’s truth.
 
4. Training in a Walk with God—Training in this track is about the transformation of your life – growing personally as you know God more intimately.

Discipleship Ministry

We are on an adventure of ministry being developed even as you read this site. Our goal is to give our people a plan to take the next spiritual step in their journey as disciples of Christ through classes and personal discipleship. Some material is being developed, others have been developed and we are in the process of systematically implementing our plan and training leaders.
