Faith Sharing 101
RiverPark Church exists to be disciples, make disciples, and equip disciple makers. One crucial element of this mission is that we be able to confidently share our faith with our friends, neighbors, colleagues, families, and community. But we know sharing our faith can be scary. So, on Sunday, June 23 from 11:00 AM- Noon RiverPark Church is hosting a 1 hour workshop on how to share you faith. During this workshop you will learn 1) How to share you faith with people you know and 2) how to move conversations toward life changing subjects. Would you consider joining us as we seek to become better stewards of our life-changing faith? *There is no childcare for this workshop.
Dinner with Bala
Tuesday June 18th from 6-7:30pm, RiverPark is hosting a dinner with a minister from India named Bala. Bala has dedicated the last several decades to reaching his people for Christ. Through numerous trials and persecutions the Lord has allowed him to build a large church in Agra, which is the home of the Taj Mahal. Attached to his church includes a large orphanage and a food ministry for the poor. They also minister to many with disabilities.
