"The Story" Audiobook Recommendation
If you are having trouble getting to the weekly readings of The Story, we highly recommend the audio version!
"My family has been listening to it in the car, and it is excellent. It's well produced and well read, with different voices, and subtle background music and sound effects."
You can download the book at Audible.com here If you are new to audible.com, the app is free, and your first book is free. The Story is a great option for your first book.
Or you can purchase the CDs here
As you're driving around town, be blessed with "the greatest story ever told"

No matter where you are in life, we want to help you take your NEXT best step. The NEXT class has three main objectives. First, to get you to grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ. Second, to find a terrific community of people you can be with and grow your faith together. Third, to grow in an understanding of how we influence those outside the church. These are the main themes we see in the New Testament of the Bible over and over again.
The NEXT class is a simple orientation class to get you connected to our staff and volunteers. From the NEXT class we start a conversation with you to help you develop a better understand of growing in these three key relationships.
NEXT is a 25 minute orientation class that will meet once per month. NEXT will meet on October 29th at 9:45am and 11:15am in Room 9 of the Life Center.
