We BOND

We TRAIN

• We help people of all ages to form life-long patterns of Scripture-study, prayer, service, and other biblical practices that cultivate us as disciples of Jesus.
• We identify, equip, and multiply lay-leaders.
• We identify and nurture future and clergy and missionaries.

GLOSSARY

• 39 Articles: It’s the Anglican statement of faith. It’s brief and great. Google it!
• Sacrament: A Sacrament has 3 parts: 1. An outward and visible sign of 2. an
  inward grace, 3. ordained by Christ. There are two of these signs that fit all 3
  criteria, and they are baptism and Communion.
• Gospel: Paul defines the Gospel in I Cor 15 as the death and resurrection of Jesus that forgives our sins and renews the world.
