Adult Discipleship
Building a Process of Discipleship
Does your church run ministry programs or do you have a process for making disciples for Jesus Christ? Church of the Resurrection has been a church of many programs, but over the last three years has been working towards becoming a church that systematically, through a process, reaches new believers, teaches the basics of the Christian faith, connects believers with each other, and equips believers for The Journey of a lifetime. Come and learn the basics of building a process of faith development.

Spiritual Gifts: Before and After "the Inventory"
The question we're asked most about spiritual gifts is "Which gifts inventory does Resurrection use?"
