Discover Class \u2013 August 27, 11:15 AM<\/h3>\t\t\t

When you\u2019re looking to find a church home, we recommend you answer two questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do they preach the Gospel from the Bible?<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Can I belong here? <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To help you answer these questions, we invite you to join our Discover Class. This is where you will be introduced to what our church believes, and how we live out these beliefs. It is also the first step you would take if you want to belong in a Small Group Community.<\/p>\n

    To sign up for Discover Class, please click here.<\/u><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
