Join Pastor Tomas during the 9am service (9:15-10:15) at Connors Hill on October 26, November 2, November 9, and November 16 for Foundations, a course designed to help you learn the basics of following Jesus.

Whether you're new to the faith, coming back to faith after a while, or are just curious what it looks like to walk with Jesus, this 4-week foundation course is meant to help you learn the basics of following Him. Each morning will include a light, continental-style breakfast, teaching, discussion, and a practical 3-week devotional to compliment what you're learning and help you start walking with Jesus. Our hope is that you would attend the 11am service with us as part of the sessions with the people you're meeting at Foundations or with your friends and/or family. If you're worried about coming alone, feel free to invite someone to come with you!

We’ll meet in the Upper Room (size permitting). If registration exceeds 8, we will meet in the Youth Room. We’ll have signs up to direct you!

Please RSVP HERE so we can plan accordingly!

Jud's life and ministry with Youth with a Mission (YWAM) is rooted in one clear passion: seeing young people discipled into a life of radical obedience, transformation, and pursuit of Jesus Christ.Through Jud's work with YWAM he gets to walk alongside students, youth pastors, and church teams- creating spaces where Jesus is really encountered, not just talked about. He also gets to help churches and leaders create ministries and aren't just fun or flashy, but that form young people deeply in the ways of Jesus.

Dessert and coffee will be served, so to help us plan well for this event, please RSVP HERE. We hope to see you there!

This will be a great morning to serve side-by-side and connect with other men from our site, and to make a real impact on the continued renewal of this great facility which we believe God has directed our church to use for sharing the gospel in new ways.
