Our Vision: to be people who are all about unleashing God's extravagant love on this city and around the world.
Our Mission is simple: to help people take their next step towards Jesus.

The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch. - Acts 11:26

He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. - Acts 9:1-2

As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him. When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him. - Mark 1:16-20

How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth! - Psalm 119:103

"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." - Luke 9:23

1. If you could follow someone around for an entire week and learn to do life the way they do it, who would you choose? (athlete, musician, friend, family member, etc.) Why and what would you hope to learn from them?

2. Garry talked about how the word Christian can mean different things to different people. What do you think comes to mind when people in our culture hear the word Christian? What do you think should come to mind?

3. Garry suggested that there's a difference between believing things about Jesus and actually following Jesus. Why does it matter? What do you think that difference looks like in everyday life? 

4. Read Mark 1:16-20. Jesus invited ordinary fishermen to follow him. What do you find encouraging or challenging about the fact that Jesus invited ordinary, imperfect people to follow him? How does that impact the way you see your own journey with Jesus?

5. Garry asked, "What if his (Jesus’) way of living is actually a better way to live?" What is something that Jesus teaches that might seem difficult, countercultural, or even unreasonable at first, but could actually lead to a better life if we put it into practice? 

We were left with the challenge to take a step towards living "The Way" of Jesus. What’s that step for you and will you take it?
