Build: Formation & Education

Main message: The church is launching a weekly "Build" hour — a focused discipleship and Christian education time to grow believers so God can build the people who will build the ministry and impact the world. It teaches practical spiritual formation: knowing scripture, discovering and using gifts, and making disciples.

Key points:

• "BUILD" acronym: Belong (connection), Understand (know and apply Scripture), Invest (develop and use God-given gifts), Live (practice faith in daily life), Disciple (help develop others).
• Multi-generational discipleship: the hour is for all ages—children through seniors—to deepen faith, prayer life, and biblical understanding.
• Four strategic emphases: building leaders, building disciples, building community, and building stewardship.
• Practical call: study the Word, exercise kingdom authority and gifts, and translate learning into better marriages, families, workplaces, and service.
• Encouragement that God provides power, victory, and provision as people grow and participate in the mission.
