Growing on the Journey
Saturday 9am – Noon – Next Growing Class TBD
Contrary to popular belief, spiritual maturity is more than just knowing a bunch of Bible verses. What we really hope happens in our lives is that we learn how to develop and nurture a relationship with the God of the universe. Growing on the Journey is a great place to start as we continue to learn to relate to God throughout our days and see Him completely transform our prayers and heart. This practical class, held at the Journey building, will give you some tools that will allow you to see God work in tangible ways every single day of your life. Breakfast snacks will be served and childcare is available. Email Brian @ Brian@thejourneyonline.com if you have any questions.
Serving on the Journey
Saturday, 9-Noon – Next Serving Class TBD
Serving on the Journey is a one day seminar that will be held at the Journey building on Saturdays. We’ll talk about what it means to really make your life matter! God has given every single human being the potential to make a difference. You matter to God, and learning to be sensitive to opportunities He gives you is part of growing in your faith as a Christ-follower. In class you’ll be taking a spiritual gifts inventory, a personality profile and much more to help you discover how God has wired you like nobody else! Breakfast snacks will be served and childcare is available. Sign up on your Connection Card or at the Welcome table this Sunday. Email Brian @ Brian@thejourneyonline.com if you have any questions.
Leading on the Journey
3 Consecutive Wednesday Nights-Next Leading Class TBD
It’s one thing to discover God on your journey but it’s an entirely different step to actually help someone else develop their own relationship with Him as well. One way to really know you’re maturing in your walk is how you recognize the influence you have for God in the lives of others. Every single day you contact a network of people that no one else has. Most of them are watching you to learn what it means to have faith in Christ. In the 3 part Leading Seminar we’ll equip you with tools to help someone else have their own walk with Christ. You’ll also learn to lead others through their own life development process. Email Brian @ Brian@thejourneyonline.com if you have any questions.
