Serving Christ
At this stage, we are invited to discover the gifts God has placed within us and how He has uniquely shaped each of us for His purposes. Together, we explore our experiences, abilities, and spiritual gifts, and how God is calling us to serve Christ, build relationships, strengthen community, and grow more like Him.​
