E3 Foundations
We are NOT trying to re-invent the wheel. Instead we are borrowing from the churches who have gone ahead of us on this road and have found successful tools and attitudes to help EVERY believer live within God's design for their lives in this world.
Click on the links below for helpful books, videos and further learning opportunities from some of the leaders of the biblically rooted Missional Community church movement.
Take what is helpful, leave what isn't.
These are the sources for what we will be teaching in our E3 Foundations classes each week. If you are a self starter, dig through these resources and put the teaching into practice.
