Foundations for godly manhood
Facilitator: Pastor Tim
Cost: $5
9-Week Course

We will once again use a video/discussion format. You will learn a reproducible pathway for discipleship that takes believers from first steps to full surrender to Jesus. It will help you gain a biblical understanding of the gospel and the call of discipleship.

The course will teach you how to give new and growing believers access to your life so that they might follow Jesus as you follow Jesus. You will also learn how to invest in discipleship relationships and challenge growing disciples to go and make disciples for Jesus.
