Learning to love like Jesus is a life-long journey. It's one traveled best with a sense of purpose and surrounded by the right people. That's why The Way is so important—it keeps us from doing life alone and provides a clear path to spiritual transformation. Think of it as a way to find your people and your purpose.
The Way is a series of classes made up of short videos, but it's not a college course. The goal is not to gain knowledge about Jesus and His teachings, but to become obedient to them. This is your opportunity to discover what it means to follow Jesus and be empowered to live it out.
The Way is a work in progress. Steps 1 and 2 are complete, but 3 and 4 are in progress. We are also currently revamping the print piece to be much more robust and helpful to you in your journey of spiritual growth. Thanks for your patience as we work hard to equip you to follow Jesus!

Discovering Your Ministry
What we do with our lives matters to God. Yet, it’s easy to feel like our actions don’t amount to much. But God has given you spiritual gifts, dreams, and passions. They work together with your personality and experiences to create the unique purpose He has for your life.

Discovering Your Life Mission
It’s hard to watch the tragedies happening in our community and our world: racism, domestic violence, homelessness, corrupt politics, poverty... the list goes on. As Christians, we are not powerless. And every day God gives us is an opportunity to offer what we have to a hurting world: love, hope, joy, encouragement, peace... the list goes on, and on. You have a role to play!
Step 4 is designed to equip you to start making a difference in the world. Whether that’s across the street or across an ocean.
