Becoming a healthy disciple with Pastor Stuart
Steve Macchia is a pastor and author. For our class I want us to work on Becoming a Healthy Disciple: Ten Traits of a Vital Christian. Here are the 10 elements we want to see in our lives:
- Experiences God’s Empowering Presence
- Engages in God-Exalting Worship
- Practices the Spiritual Disciplines
- Learns and Grows in Community
- Commits to Loving and Caring Relationships
- Exhibits Christlike Servanthood
- Shares the Love of Christ Generously
- Manages Life Wisely and Accountably
- Networks with the Body of Christ
- Stewards a Life of Abundance
I thought this quote says it all:
“If I wanted to answer the biblical question, ‘How shall we then live?’ it would be difficult to find a more comprehensive and well thought through response than that given by Steve Macchia in this excellent book. I want to please Jesus in my life; like most of us I need to know how. At last, courtesy of Steve Macchia, I have an answer.”
— Clive Calver, former president of World Relief

Family Discipleship: Discovering and Developing Your Most Important Role as a Parent with Bill Cain
What is the MOST IMORTANT GIFT you can give to your child(ren)? It’s a question that deserves our full attention. We can do many things wrong as parents and survive. But this is an issue essential to our child’s well-being throughout their life. Their sense of IDENTITY and PURPOSE is wrapped around this issue.
On Wednesday evening, September 24, we begin a 6-week class on leaving a legacy. This class is open to all parents, regardless of the age of your child(ren).
If you have questions, contact Bill Cain,
