5 Pillars Series Q&A Shabbat Service 3/21

These past weeks have been such a gift as we’ve received wonderful messages by our leadership team that remind us who we are and what we’re building together in this new season of growth. Our congregation is framed by five pillar principles—Discipleship, Jewish Calling, Covenant Relationships, the Word of God & the Power of the Spirit, and Prophetic Intercession—and we’re stepping forward with fresh hope and expectation for what the Lord is doing in our midst.

As we continue leaning in together, we’ll be hosting a Q&A during our service time on Saturday, March 21st. To help us prepare and make the most of our time, please email your questions in advance by Monday, March 16th.

We can’t wait to hear what’s on your heart—thank you for being part of this growing, covenant community. Please send your questions to Andrew Gudgeon.
