The Way In
Sunday, 9:30 am
Fellowship Hall

Jesus’ ministry was so affective he changed the world forever! Given, he was God in the flesh, he performed miracles, he taught profoundly, he was compassionate and merciful. We will not be able to ever replicate Jesus’ ministry, but we can glean strategic principles from the ministry of Jesus. Our adult classes in November will focus on the Jesus way to reach people. Come and partake in these classes to gain insights into the ministry of Jesus and how his ministry reveals the strategy to reach out to people and disciple people for an abundant life.
