FIND A CHURCH

CONVENTION

SHARE: Invite others to come on the journey with God

As Jesus followers, we are called to be witnesses to the liberating and life-giving love of Jesus. Witnessing to such love is less about recruiting church members, and more about inviting people to a way of life, a lifelong journey of discovering the gift of God’s presence in our lives and in the world and growing more deeply in relationship with God and one another.
If you have experienced the love of Jesus, why not share it with others, inviting them tojoin the journey with God?
