Joyfully Following Jesus New Member Class- Session 5
Our Joyfully Following Jesus Information Class is for anyone interested in joining St. Stephen or learning more about St. Stephen. In this class you can expect to learn what our church believes about God, what it means to be equipped to follow Jesus in our daily lives, and what it means to be a member of St. Stephen.
Join us for five Zoom classes, where we dive in to what it means to be on Team Jesus! In the event you cannot attend all the scheduled classes due to a previous commitment, we record each session, so you can review the class at your convenience. At the end of our sessions, there is an option to join our congregation if indeed the Lord is leading you to join our faith family.
Please contact Pastor Joe or the church office if you would like to attend so we can send you the Zoom link.
