We are going to spend 4 weeks studying the Scripture to learn how the church is intended to view and interact with people outside our church walls.

We want to look at, learn and demonstrate how we can have a Kingdom Impact in our community and the world around us by partnering with other churches, recognizing needs, and stepping outside of ourselves into lives of radical generosity.

January 5th - January 25th
