Jesus is The Model for Life & Ministry:
Just as important as the words and teachings of Jesus are to our daily Christian life, so too is how He did ministry. Jesus was highly relational, intentional, and strategic. What He modeled for us in His earthly ministry is vitally important to our lives and ministries as disciple-makers. Join us for this practical breakout looking at the earthly ministry of Jesus so that our model for life and ministry would be His.
