Deeper and Wider
Discipleship for Today (Nov 2025)
Join us this November as we explore what it means to follow Jesus in today’s world. Discipleship for Today will take us deeper in faith and wider in impact as we look at five ministry priorities that will guide our church over the next two years.
Discipleship is the ongoing journey of growing in our relationship with Christ. Throughout this series, we’ll discover how biblical principles of discipleship can be lived out in real and practical ways that meet today’s realities—helping us take next steps in faith, community, and service.
Together, we’ll learn how to live as disciples who are growing deeper with God and reaching wider for His kingdom.

Bible Reading (November 3 - 28)
This November, we invite you to grow with us through Deeper and Wider.
Each week, our readings connect with Sunday’s message—exploring what it looks like to follow Jesus in real, everyday life.
Each Monday through Friday, you’ll read a short passage that builds on the previous Sunday’s sermon from our 5 Ministry Priorities. Together, these readings will help you see how God works through us to reach others, grow in faith, and live as His disciples today.
Want to stay connected while you read?
Join a Bible Reading Texting Group! These small groups of 4–5 people share short reflections and encouragement by text. It’s a simple way to stay accountable and grow together.
Bookmarks with the full reading plan will be available at the Welcome Center and church office beginning Sunday, October 26.
We hope you’ll join us this November and discover how God is shaping discipleship for today—in our lives, our church, and our community.
