Spiritual Growth Resources

Looking for materials to grow closer to God with your family, small group, neighbors, or through self-study?

Check out the materials we have below created by our pastors, staff, and church leaders in recent years!

ENCOUNTER AT HOME GUIDE

During an Encounter Worship Sunday, we explored the story of the Good Samaritan in traditional and experiential worship. At the conclusion of the pastor's message, the community was invited to experience this same story at various stations throughout the building inviting discussion and reflection around the topics of relationships, justice, and service. We adapted the "in person" encounter experience into an at home version linked through the button below.

IMMERSE DEVOTIONAL

"Immerse" is a devotional series developed by Pastor Peter Thompson as a part of his Doctoral Research Class and final program project. The devotional is a 12 part series designed as an alternative form of worship when the ability to be present at church has been impacted due to stay at home orders, a weekend soccer tournament, weekend theater competition, or other activity. Each part of the series can be completed in one setting or it can be broken down over the course of a couple of days.

UNSHAKABLE HOPE CLASS RESOURCES

We are invited to build our faith on a strong foundation of God's truth and promises.  This study of God's promises as shared through scriptures and Max Lucado's Unshakable Hope: Building our lives on the promises of God offers us reminders of God's goodness and faithfulness and encourages us to stand firm on God's hope and redemption.

PRAYER RESOURCES

Prayer is more than eyes closed, hands clasped, and reverent words. Prayer can take many forms! Spring 2022 we offered a prayer resource during Lent shared by familyministrytools.org that partnered short scripture readings with interactive prayers.  Listed below are the 7 interactive prayers and their support tools.  It is a resource designed for the Lenten season; however, many of the prayers carry messages that work the whole year through.
