Growing Together
Growing Together is a newsletter supplement to The Messenger online but with a focus on what is happening in our culture and the issues that are challenging for the church.As a small church conference, we cannot, and will not try to do what larger organizations do. What we will do, is discuss the issues that have an impact on us, with arguments and material to assist us to think through issues intelligently from several angles. As with everything we do, we are committed to the Bible as inspired by God and the truth by which we live.
