//Story Core…starting or returning?…it’s for you!

Listen to Carla’s powerful Story Core experience.

What is Story Core? Engage is a Church for people who want to explore faith. It’s for people who find themselves thinking about ultimate questions but maybe don’t quite know where to start.

If that’s you? Then check out Story Core. Story Core is an exciting 8 week long “adventure” in exploring the big questions of faith and how we can begin a “story” with God.  We believe God invites us into a relationship with Him by telling us His story in the Bible.  Story Core will explore this story in a non-threatening, non-judgmental way. No question is off limits!  Trust me! We love big questions of faith.  So bring it! :)

So if you are blowing the dust off of your bible and returning to faith after a long hiatus or if you are starting new for the first time–Story Core is for you!  We can’t think of a better way to begin to get connected at Engage than Story Core. Email Kelly if you have questions or would like more info.

Story Core will begin in October and will meet weekly for 8 weeks.  Join us Sunday October 3rd for a 20 minute “Story Core In the Know” informational meeting right after our worship gathering.  The cost for the materials is $20. If money is an issue let us know and we will do what we can to help.

Podcast Listen to Sermon: God Save the Church - Part 4

The Church is a community of people organized around Jesus. God is working through these people to move them from one place to another. From performance to acceptance: shedding judgment. From failing to belonging: shedding guilt. From exclusion to inclusion: beyond tolerance.

//What’s new? Life at Engage_June 24_2010

Hey Peeps,
I was in Texas last week at a fellowship of church planting pastors with churches similar to Engage in size and vision.  I came across this video and LOVED IT!!  In just two minutes this video explains what we are about and what we are constantly trying to work towards at Engage. Would love for all of you to watch it and post a comment or two. Oh, think of one person you can forward this link to. Share the message. Click on the header to view comments. Thanks Kevin for being the first!!

Enjoy!!

//Why Baptism? …No offense,It’s kind of weird.

Let’s face it. It’s weird. When we read parts of the bible we see people coming to trust and faith in Jesus and getting baptized.  Why would Jesus ask those who follow him to go through this weird symbol of water and surrender?  I know, seems an awkward way to tell the world that you belong to Christ…but there is a lot of powerful symbolism packed into this mysterious act of faith.

Take a look at the pdf on baptism and find out why we encourage people to go public with their faith in this weird way…
