“A Christian without a church is a Christian in trouble.”
Since a global pandemic abruptly closed places of worship, many Christians have skipped church life, even neglecting virtual services. But this was a trend even before COVID-19. Polarizing issues, including political and racial strife, convinced some people to pull away from the church and one another. Now it’s time to recommit to gathering as brothers and sisters in Christ.
In Rediscover Church, Collin Hansen and Jonathan Leeman discuss why church is essential for believers and God’s mission. Through biblical references and personal stories, they show readers God’s true intention for corporate gathering: to spiritually strengthen members as individuals and the body of Christ. In an age of church-shopping and livestreamed services, rediscover why the future of the church relies on believers gathering regularly as the family of God.

"Success in ministry is not found in building programs but in building disciples—disciples who love God with all of their heart, soul, strength, and mind. Christ is the goal, not better or more impressive ministries. He is what we want.”

Disciple Making
5/15, 5/22, 6/5, 6/12
We all know the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 – “Go and make disciples.” How are we as a church doing with that task? And how exactly do we make disciples? In this class, we will learn what disciple making is, examine how Jesus did it, and learn how each of us can personally make disciples in the places God has put us in today.
