LED BY PAT STREAM AND PENNIE BIXLER
JUNE 3 | AFTER BOTH SERVICES
ABOUT THE
WORKSHOP
Discipleship comes about as a result of the Holy
Spirit transforming individuals and families at the heart level. Jesus
transforms people into his image by changing the desires of their hearts and
giving them new purpose and vision. As seen in Scripture, Jesus often discipled
people by asking them really good heart level questions. This workshop seeks to equip disciple-makers in asking
people questions that no one else asks them, the kinds of questions that stir
real transformation, healing, and deep biblical friendships.
ABOUT THE
WORKSHOP LEADERS
Pat Stream is one of FCC's elders. He is also a
certified Biblical Counselor and leads FCC's Biblical Counseling training.
Pennie Bixler is the founding leader of the women's ministry, SAMMY's. She also
serves as in Biblical Counseling and as a co-leader of FCC's Hospitality Team
and in Biblical Counseling.
Faith Community Church is an elder-led body. We have both Family of Families elders and Missional Community elders, and we commend elder apprentices in waves. As men complete the elder vetting process and are ready, we commend them to the congregation for apprenticeship. Josh Graham has been serving as an elder apprentice since 2017, and on June 10, Faith Community members will vote to affirm him as an elder for the River Falls Missional Community.
Josh is a man who not only fulfills the character qualities of 1 Tim 3 and Titus 1, but he also lives out the discipleship principles articulated in our discipleship pyramid. He is seeking to help others bring them into their lives, as well.
Also on June 10, we will be praying for Eric Lent to become an elder apprentice for Faith Community. Eric is a solid and beloved teacher, a servant leader, and has been in training for elder apprenticeship for a few years. He is excited to bring his skills and gifts to help FCC accomplish our mission of making more and better disciples of Jesus.
You can pick up a copy of the FCC shepherding booklet this Sunday for more information about biblical shepherding and the names and photos of FCC’s elders and elder apprentices.
In the summer edition of "Faith Hudson" magazine, you can read stories about what's happening at Faith Community, including how Faith Community is connecting technology with discipleship. PLUS, find the important summer dates and information for our ministries.
