6:10-7:00 PM | 4 Weeks beginning February 5 |

The saints of the church often lay out our blueprint for discipleship and how we can live out the Great Commission. As we are all called to different areas of ministry, saints too, are called to different types of ministry. This study with our clergy team will be an overview of different types of saints, from monastics to martyrs.
