FIND YOUR PATH: "STEP Classes" |
|
|
|
|
The Bible
describes the Christian life as a walk or journey in which we follow
Jesus. Like all journeys it is a step-by-step process; but this
journey, filled with purpose and meaning, is the most exciting
journey a person can undertake. This is not a journey a person makes
alone. As a church family we are all taking this journey together…
walking purposefully for God’s pleasure.
The FIND
YOUR PATH series is a four-step process carefully designed to
emphasize the core purposes in our journey at The United Methodist
Church of Whitefish Bay. Each of these four steps will define a core
purpose, encourage your development in that area, and help you
realize that purpose in your life. Whether you are a new, growing,
or mature Christian, these steps will be useful for you as you take
your own journey… or help others to take their next step.

STEP 4 Defining Your Mission

You have a

warm hearts, and transform lives. Remember your story and the
