Rev. Wally Arp
“We are to grow up (auxano) in every way into him who is the head, into Christ” (Ephesians 4:15). Andy Stanley, a pastor and author, has observed five things common to people who are growing spiritually: Private Disciplines (devotions, prayer, Bible reading, worship); Practical Teaching (Bible study, sermons, reading); Providential Relationships (mentors in the faith); Personal Ministry (service, volunteering); Pivotal Circumstances (moments of change and or struggles). Catalyst Small Groups provide a space for you to experience these things with other followers of Jesus. Auxano!
