What if you could change the world without changing your daily routine?
BLESS is a model for living your life purpose. It's not about filling your calendar, memorizing, or making people feel bad. The caricature of what church is and about is merely a misunderstanding.
The BLESS practices are about loving our neighbors well. BLESS is an intentional pathway for people of all ages to become like Jesus and join His mission.
Introduction to BLESS
As we launch the BE A BLESSING 2024 churchwide theme, Pastor Clark challenges us to rethink our approach to blessing others and living out our purpose in the coming year.
