Discipleship resources

We believe that disciples are learners and leaders are readers. One way we grow as disciples of Jesus is by learning and loving truth. We encourage everyone to read bible-saturated books together with family or friends. These resources provide a great context for discussions over a meal or coffee. So grab a copy for yourself and give another one to a friend to discuss together.  

You can find the following resources and more at the Resource Corner in our lobby. If you need any additional recommendations, ask any elder or email Drew Hunter.
