Level Up Training Day - Saturday, August 10, 9:00am - 1:30pm

Saturdays are valuable! And we understand that. We have designed a half day opportunity for you to experience a jolt to your spiritual journey. Tweed challenged the partners at our last partners meeting to commit to Level Up in their faith. Meaning if you are a seeker, 2024 is a time to make the important commitments. If you are a newer follower of Jesus, Level Up by clarifying your next growth step. If you are an active server and minister at Friends it means leveling up your skills to become a leader. If you are a leader, it means becoming a multiplying leader. The key is that we all need to be growing and as we do that together, our impact is greater and more lasting. This event is a place to be encouraged, challenged, motivated, inspired and equipped to step off a plateau toward new heights of experiencing God. We get to have fun, learn, eat and grow together!

We have childcare planned and a great Lunch for everyone! It's all free!

In a world that is filled with biased media sources, opinions, conspiracy theories, fake news, social platforms than enable false stories to take root.

Spiritual Formation and Emotional Health

Emotional health and spiritual formation go hand in hand. Growth and maturity do not come by just jumping through religious hoops or getting enough teaching.
