Preparing Ourselves to Share with Confidence
Are you ready to embark on an incredible journey of growth and inspiration?
Together, we will dive headfirst into a church-wide study, guided by the remarkable book "Contagious Faith" by the renowned Mark Mittleburg.
Every Sunday from April 7-May 12, Pastor Tony will lead us on an exhilarating exploration of this transformative study during our Sunday morning worship service at 10am. Imagine the power and depth of insight that will flow through our sanctuary as we delve into the pages of this life-changing book. But that's not all! Right after the worship service, we will come together as a unified church family fora 30 minute deeper dive into the study guide, uncovering hidden gems of wisdom, and sharing profound moments of revelation.
Together, we will build a community founded on contagious faith!

Week 1 Video | Discovering Your Contagious Faith Style
"In Matthew 28:18–20, Jesus looked at his disciples—and through them at us—and told them to go into their world and make more disciples. Many of us reflexively respond, “This isn’t for me. It’s not my gift. It’s not my personality. I just want to be an ordinary Christian.” But we can all develop a contagious faith by operating in our primary style."
Week 2 Video | Initiating Relationships and Serving Others
Through *Friendship-Building* and *Selfless-Serving*, we can reach people who may seem closed spiritually, but are open relationally. People need people, and friends listen to friends. A high percentage of people come to Christ primarily through the influence of a close friend or family member who selflessly meets their needs and demonstrates to them they are loved.
Week 3 Video | Telling Your Faith Story in a Natural Way
When Paul stood before hostile audiences, he shared his personal testimony every time. No persuasive technique will ever take the place of your *Story-Sharing*. The skeptic may deny your doctrine or attack your church but he cannot honestly ignore the fact that your life has been changed.
