Resources
Christians are called to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18). This is a call to discipleship; a whole-person commitment to expand and deepen one's faith, learning to live through the power of Jesus' gospel. Whether you're taking your first steps on this journey, or are looking for fresh resources, this page will highlight content that will encourage and challenge you to grow in your capacity to love God heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbour as yourself.
