Perspectives Conway | Begins January 20 | 6:00-9:00 PM
God has a “world-sized” role for every Christian in His global purpose. Whether people go to distant countries or stay at home is a secondary issue. The primary issue is what most people are hungry to discover: a vision to live a life of purpose—finding that vision makes this course valuable and perhaps crucial for any Christian.
Perspectives is a discipleship course that takes you through the Bible, back in time, and across the globe. Pastors, theologians, missiologists, and mobilizers challenge and inspire as they help bring the course content to life through their personal experience and expertise. You will join a community of believers as you journey together to understand better who God is, what He is doing, and your role within that. Perspectives will encourage and challenge you to live on purpose, with purpose.
