RECOMMENDED RESOURCES


​Below we have organized some helpful resources that we encourage our congregation to read, listen, pray through, and meditate on.
​
​These are excellent resources for individual and corporate discipleship as we seek to be a church equipped for the work of the ministry, and the building up of the body, all for the glory of God.
