We offer three Discover classes at Church of the Master. Discover 101 Membership
is designed for those who want to learn more about COtM and the Presbyterian
church. Discover 201 Maturity teaches the three key roads on the path to
Christian maturity: Bible study, prayer, and worship. Discover 301 Maturity
gives participants the opportunity to investigate how their spiritual gifts,
hearts, abilities, personalities, and experiences are combined by God to uniquely
prepare them for a ministry.
Classes are scheduled for September 28 and October 5, 4-6 PM.
To sign up for any of these classes, call the church office at (480) 985-1660.
