As a young adult seeking to follow Jesus, what is my role in the 21st century Church?

What can I do to be involved in God’s work through His Church?

How does God define the Church, and what is His Church supposed to be doing in the
world?

If any of these thoughts have ever crossed your mind, or if you desire to be more intentional
about getting involved in the Church locally and globally, join us this spring in West
Hartford, CT for Further 2019 as we dig into the topic of Ecclesiology: understanding God’s
church, and your role as part of it.

SPEAKERS - DR. GREG AND RENA STIEKES
