We believe that our individual relationship with God matters now. Do you?
How we invest our time now matters for eternity. The people we bring with us in our journey of faith are eternal souls who are preparing for what God has promised. The people who do not have a personal relationship with the Living God matter, too. For these and other reasons we gather for encouragement, for studying what God has written, and for considering how to invest our time well.
The greatest gift we can give to ourselves and other people is the light of knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Through believing and obeying God’s written word, the Holy Bible, we enter into a dynamic relationship with the Creator God who made us to know Him and express His goodness.
Learning means there are things we don’t know or understand. Education is about learning what it is that you don’t know so that you can discover the value and learn it. The Bible, God’s operator’s manual for living, has a lot to say about life, eternity, and relationships.
Come discover what He has said along with us!
When and where do we meet?

Men’s Discipleship – Studying Establish 101
Does your worldview match God’s? How do you know?
What gives God the right to
The Establish Series is one of the most beneficial studies you can engage in to establish solid foundations for faith. (1 Corinthians 3:10-15)
Most Bible studies address “what” or “how.” This study addresses “why,” laying foundations for faith in the character of God.
This will start up again in the fall or when there is interested.

Being a community means being there yourself and inviting others to join you.

Commit yourself follow through.

Want to grow spiritually?
It’s going to take some work on your part. It’s one of those “nothing ventured nothing gained” kind of things. We can help you. You will need to let us know you are serious. You will need to consistently commit some of your time. We will work with you to map out a realistic plan and schedule that fits your school commitments. There are some things you need to know and do before other things can be learned and applied. If you are willing-hearted, we will assist you in personal development toward character growth, personal disciplines, caring for other people, equipping for ministry, and servant leadership. You have to want it to get it. everyperson.com | Help | Progress | Foundations
Evangelism
It’s not about converting people. It’s about giving people the information they need to understand and to realize the value of the treasure. (In the identity and person of Jesus Christ.)
Who is God? Who is Jesus? Who says? What is the message? Whose message is it? How do we respectfully and kindly engage people about the greatest gift we could possibly give them? How do we overcome the misinformation about the nature of God and our motives for telling people about Jesus? What are the essentials that people need to know? How do we overcome a fear of rejection? What does prayer have to do with it?
Let us help you engage with the people around you in meaningful and winsome ways. It’s about eternity. Commit to engaging and we will show you what we are learning while we learn from you. Meanwhile… Missions4Kids | Momentum | Ambassador Series | What is the point of the Bible? | Truth Pursuit
Discipleship
On the highest authority in heaven and on earth (there is no higher authority) Jesus commanded us, His disciples, to go to every person, every ethnic group, in every part of the world to preach the Good News, baptize believers, and teach them to observe/obey all that He commanded us. That is why we are engaged in discipleship.
Disciple just means follower. We seek to establish Christ-followers. This is the best thing we can do for people (after leading them to believe Jesus) and is the best thing for the people all around each disciple.
We have men’s discipleship groups and women’s discipleship groups. If you want to participate, please contact us.
The men are studying the Establish Discipleship series. You can catch up or follow along using this resource. Establish Progress
