1 in every 4 adults wrestle with depression and nearly 19% of the population struggles with an anxiety disorder, which means it is likely that either you or someone you are very close to is hurting. Often times in the midst of such darkness and confusion, we can wonder if there is any hope for deliverance or healing. In this seminar, we will look at God's Word and see that even in the valley of the shadow of death, our God is near, faithful, and there is hope for the downcast and anxious.

This seminar will be extremely practical and help you leave knowing steps to take to manage your technology usage.

Why Some Disciples Make and Others Don’t
'Disciple’ is who we are and what we do. It defines our identity in Christ and drives our purpose for Christ. ‘Disciple’ is our frame of reference for our entire Christian worldview and has grounded and grown the church for two thousand years. Join the most noble and urgent call of Christ, "Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men.”

Come and see the Big Picture of the Bible, and learn to see Christ in the Old Testament.

We use stories to help us navigate through the mess that is life in a broken world. Many of these stories contain partial truths that were helpful at one point, but now are insufficient. Could it be that God is telling a better story for your life than the one you tell yourself?
