Practicing the Way Classes
The modern church is facing a crisis of discipleship. It’s not that people don’t want to become like Jesus, or that people aren’t trying to become like Jesus. It’s that we don’t know how to become like Jesus. We need a pathway to formation for the modern era. C3 invites you to an 8-week journey in discovering two practices in your faith journey. There are THREE options for this class; in person (Wednesdays starting 9/17 at 6pm), in person on Thursdays with the Longnecker Refresh Group, and online via zoom (Thursdays starting 9/18 at 7pm).
