Congregational Development News!

The congregation of St. John's is participating in a congregational development program based on the work of Robert Schnase, The Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations. The five practices capture the means by which God uses congregations to yield followers. These ideas aren't secret or new, however they are the practices that will lead to growth in the life of our church.

• Radical Hospitality
• Passionate Worship
• Intentional Faith Development
• Risk-Taking Mission and Service
• Extravagant Generosity

Mother DuBose incorporated a vision of the practices into her sermons and the congregation, led by Katie Gaulding, has participated in several exicitng work sessions.
