Growing as a follower of Jesus who loves God wholeheartedly, others sacrificially, and God’s world generously involves (as well as the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives), us cultivating good HABITS - of Bible intake, prayer, worship, community… We’re currently looking at some of these habits during our Sunday Services.

Everyone needs a little help establishing such habits. Below are some resources to help get you started.
