Five Things God Uses To Grow Your Faith We talk a lot about having a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, but what does that actually mean? What catalysts does God actually use in the lives of believers to grow their faith in Him? In this six-week series we will explore five different dynamics that God frequently uses to grow an active, out of the box, "Holy cow did you see that?" type of faith. Begins Sept. 12 at 6:30 p.m. Boundaries Often, Christians focus so much on love and sacrifice that they forget their own limits and limitations. Yet, having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Participants in this group will learn how to establish appropriate boundaries to live more fully and display truth and love more freely. Begins Sept. 12 at 6:30 p.m. Sunday Evening Child Care: For those with children from birth to fifth grade. This is a time of child care while adults are attending Sunday evening Oasis classes. What We Believe Class An orientation to CCJ, its beliefs and ministries. Next Class: TBA Contact us to sign up for the next class.
