Sometimes people in the church get so caught up with really good things that we forget part of our mission is to share the best things with people not in the church. Jesus was great at boldly going where no religious leader would go before, and He challenges us to be the same. Join us as we consider the challenge of going and sharing what we’ve been given.

Its really easy to reduce complex assignments to simple checklists. And many of life’s pursuits can be accomplished simply by checking all the boxes. But is the mission God gave the church as simple as checking the boxes? Or is it a lifestyle that reveals the reality of Jesus and the greatness of God’s love? Join us as we consider these questions.
Catch and Release

“Catch and Release” is most often used when talking about fishing for sport and fun in ways that protect the fish and the fish population. For the church, Jesus catches and transforms people, and then we are to make disciples and release those disciples to duplicate that ministry to others. Join us as we consider Scripture’s teaching on being a church that is effectively practicing “Catch and Release”.

Our default perspective on spiritual maturity is often equated with the intellectual grasp of the doctrines and teachings of the faith, or with being consumed by physical acts of service, or with age and years of experience as a believer. But being spiritually mature in seen in a heart dependence on Christ, the intellect's understanding of the faith, and the hands working empowered by Christ to accomplish the mission we've been given.
