Deeper in Christ, Bolder in Witness, Further in Mission

What is our purpose as a local church? Why do we exist here in Stockton as the body of Christ? The book of Acts will help us answer these questions. This book, written by Luke, tells the story of the birthing of the church by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that the people of God in response to his love and in the power of the Spirit, join in God's mission for the salvation of the world - all for the glory of God! And the story is still being written today - through churches just like ours. Are you ready for God to do something new among us and through us? Listen along with your Bible in-hand as we explore God's Word together!
