2011 Fall Scope and Sequence

This is an opportunity for us as a congregation to reach out to those who are either not connected to Christ or a local church. Come join us on Sunday, September 11 as we launch two worship services!

Nursery/Preschool care and classes will be available all three hours. Kids For Christ, children’s worship for K-5th grades, is available during both worship services. (Please note that all our children/youth workers from ages 0 through 12th grade undergo criminal background checks.) Here are the details:

• 8:15-9:20 – First Worship Service
• 9:30-10:30 – Study Groups/Bible Classes (all ages)
• 10:45-11:50 – Second Worship Service

So we’ve designed a simple three step process for “making disciple makers” called the 3Cs – Celebrate, Cultivate, and Communicate. This explains both our purpose and our process as a church. Check out this simple visual illustration of the 3Cs below.

A disciple of Christ is someone who worships, grows, and serves… someone who:

• Celebrates God in worship (Sun morning Worship Service),
• Cultivates Growth in smaller groups (Sun morning Study Groups and Wed Night Life Groups), and
• Communicates the Gospel in word and deed (regular service through one of our Impact Teams).

If it isn’t totally obvious… We want to be very intentional about this process because we believe it’s easy to lose sight of the goal… Put a bunch of sinful people together and you’re bound to get ‘mission drift’! So we are working hard to intentionally shape YOU, through the power of God’s Spirit, into a 3CLIFE kind of Jesus follower! (And, if you’ll notice by the dashed line… You get to help others participate in this process because anyone who does that is a ‘leader’! There is nothing more exciting than leading others to know the joy of following Christ!)
