Current Worship Series

Love to Lead
Leadership Lessons from an Army General and the Bible

Leadership matters.  As people of faith, we believe in a Kingdom that is already here in part and will be made complete in the future. It takes leadership to help bridge that gap. As J.K. Rowling says, "“We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.” So join in with FaithBridge in October as we seek to "imagine better" by cultivating the skill of leadership. Joining us will be Brigadier General Michael White who has decades of experience leading in both the Army and in the corporate world. This is a series that you don't want to miss!
