“Marks of a Disciple: Six Measurements for Growth”
by Dean Inserra ~ Kevin Smiley
Start Date: October 1st – 6 Week video Study
Sunday’s approx. 20 minutes after Service. Meeting in the Children’s Classroom
Every Christian—regardless of age, demographic, or background—is designed by God to grow in faith. But many of us don’t know what growth looks like. How do we even know we’re growing? In Marks of a Disciple, pastor Dean Inserra examines six measurements to help us see whether or not we’re developing spiritually. This is not a checklist or a punch card, but rather a group of traits distilled from Scripture that should be evident in the life of a follower of Jesus. As we pursue these markers, our faith can flourish the way God intended.

Small Groups
Small Groups - Our Vision
We believe that Small Groups are at the very heart of what we do as a church.
The ORCHARD groups are designed to explore questions and experience spiritual growth. Small Groups generally consist of scripture study, discussion and prayer.
Many people find that involvement in a small group is often the most fulfilling and rewarding aspect of church.

Fall 2015: Counter Culture by David Platt
We learned The Bible is clear on a number of issues:
Who God is—the holy, just, and gracious Creator of the universe
Who we are—men and women created in the image of God
for our good and for God's glory
Who Christ is and what He has done—His life, death, and resurrection
What it means to follow Christ—to die to ourselves and to live in Him
Why this matters for eternity--
heaven and hell are at stake in our response to the gospel
So how do these truths affect how we respond to the social issues of our day--
realities such as poverty, slavery, abortion, sexual immorality, the degradation of marriage, the neglect of orphans and widows, racism, and persecution?
