As we wrap up our fall Lean In series, Pastor Brittany Park reminds us that leaning into Jesus and the Spirit's efforts to transform us into Christlikeness is a lifelong journey, one that balances the work of the Spirit with our own effort to take hold of that which has already been provided for us.

Professor of Pastoral Ministries and Spiritual Formation Bill Dogterom teaches us that Knowing Jesus - rather than just knowing about Him - is the foundation to understanding our purpose in being alive and on the planet!  Because this is personal and relational, we expect it to grow and develop to the degree we press in - and that is what we intend. 
 

In John 13 Deb Rydman challenges us to love Jesus by "washing each other's feet" and what that looks like in this culture and in this season.  

Bill Dogterom Professor of Pastoral Ministries and Spiritual Formation at Vanguard University teaches that Following Peter's counsel to continue to grow up in our following of Jesus, we consider how to become more what we were created to be in the first place - part of the image of God - and why that matters to us, and to the world that needs us.

Pastor Brittany Park teaches  from 2 Peter 1:3-6.  Making every effort to have self-control and endurance is making a decision to choose a greater desire over lesser desire and stay the course because it's worth it.

Pastor Brittany Park teaches from 2 Peter 1:3-4.  Because of the goodness of the Giver, we have been given everything we need to live lives that lead to transformation and wholeness.  

This fall we are leaning into spiritual growth together as a community.  This week Pastor Brittany Park kicked off our series in Peter 2 1:3-11 with this message titled "Rhythms Of Grace".
