LG Summer Study - "Building A Healthy Church"

Dear Living Grace Family,

This summer we will be having an 8-week class exploring what the Bible has to say regarding the marks of a healthy church. During the course of this class we will be discussing topics such as: membership, eldership, church discipline, missions, evangelism, discipleship, prayer, preaching, and biblical theology.

The class begins Tuesday, June 2nd and will go eight consecutive weeks ending Tuesday, July 21st (see schedule below). Each session will go from 6:30-8:00 PM and will be held virtually (in Zoom Webinar format), at least initially. We are hoping to be able to meet in-person for these classes as soon as the group restrictions are eased and we have a facility available for our use. In order to access the Webinar each week, just click on the following link - https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85007383661.

• Participants will have the capability of asking questions during the webinar.
• Each session will be recorded and made available for viewing some time before the following session.

There is a series of books that coincide with the topics we will be covering. If you are interested in purchasing the books, you can find them by clicking on the following link: https://9marks.myshopify.com/collections/building-healthy-churches-series.

As we emerge from the from the coronavirus pandemic, the timing seems most appropriate to remind ourselves of these important aspects of a strong, sound, and growing church according to God’s standards. As such, we hope that everyone will participate in this class over the summer. Even if you are unable to attend the class sessions when they are live, we encourage you to watch the recordings and read the books that coincide with each session.

We are looking forward to the time together in this study!
