What do plants need in order to grow?

Water, sunlight, and air are essential for plants to thrive. Similarly, as Christians, we need foundational elements to help us grow in our faith and follow Jesus more closely.

Starting February 9, we invite you to join us for PLANT: Embrace the Jesus Life, a 5-week discipleship series where we’ll journey through the books of James and Jude. Together, we’ll explore three foundational aspects of following Jesus:

Me:
  • How can I grow in my relationship with Jesus?
  • How do I read the Bible and apply it to my life?
     
My Family:
  • How can I help my children grow in their faith?
  • What can I do to guide them so they stay connected to God as adults?
  • How do I talk about scripture with my spouse?
     
My Community:
  • Who can I share my questions and doubts with?
  • Who will encourage and challenge me to live out my faith consistently?
     
The journey begins with everyone—kids included—spending less than 10 minutes each day reading scripture and praying. If this practice is new to you, don’t worry! We’ll provide a guide to help you get started.

Once a week, you'll gather with your family, your spouse, or close friends for a time to process what you've read. Each journal includes a list of questions for you to discuss with your family or your "Roots" system (consisting of 2 to 3 close, intentional friends).

We also encourage you to join one of our PLANT groups or start your own with friends. Each PLANT journal includes discussion questions designed to help your group process what you’ve read and learned that week.

Let’s grow together as we embrace the Jesus life!
