New Beginnings: When someone has experienced our worship services and other ministry experiences made available to them, they often decide to probe more deeply into our community. For people desiring to learn more about us and especially what makes us who we are as a community of Jesus followers, we invite them to participate in a New Beginnings class. Our New Beginnings courses require six sessions, usually conducted on a mid-week evening for 90 minutes to 2 hours. We explore the mission, values and vision for Living Faith and explore the fundamentals of our community life. These fundamentals include some basic spiritual habits, as well as, exploration of one's unique shape for service in God's Kingdom. Our New Beginnings course is often used as a springboard to membership in our church, but even when membership is neither sought nor desired, we offer this class for its value to anyone who might want to become more effective in following Christ. If you would like to explore membership in our church or if you would just like to learn more of the things that would enrich your life, please feel free to contact us at the church office at 480-831-2514 for an upcoming course schedule.
