DISCIPLESHIP

Family Discipleship Emphasis Series

During the month of August (and even beyond), we want to encourage our church family to gather in their homes as families or as friend groups to take the STEPS to grow in the study of the Beatitudes in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5.
