Story Of The Week

Parent Equipping Night

Now more than ever, young adults are leading the way in church attendance, and with 85% of believers coming to Christ between the ages of 4 and 14, the opportunity to disciple the next generation is extraordinary. On Monday, January 12 from 6:30–8:00 PM at the Rockrimmon Campus, Dr. Wess Stafford, President Emeritus of Compassion International, will share why reaching kids matters in a message for anyone who cares about discipleship and influence. Known for his wisdom, humility, and genuine kindness, Dr. Stafford is someone you’ll want to learn from—grab a friend and join us for a meaningful and inspiring night.
