Grow With Us in 2025

Uncategorized | by Pastor Justin Keogh

Downtown Cornerstone,

Heading into the new year is a great time to evaluate and intentionally plan for our spiritual growth. While God is the one who ultimately gives the growth in our spiritual lives (1 Cor 3:7), he uses the means of our planning (Pr 16:3, 9), His Word (1 Tim 4:6-16), and other believers in the local church (2 Tim 2:2, 1 Thes 5:11, Heb 10:24-25). There are many ways to grow in faith together with DCC this year:

BIBLE STUDY

Our Midweek Bible Study takes place on Wednesdays, 7–8 pm, in the MPR downstairs, and resumes THIS Wednesday, 1/15, continuing in our study of 1 Peter. This inductive Bible study is led by DCC pastors, who help us look at a passage of Scripture and learn what it says, what it means, and apply it to our personal lives together. Whether you’re still getting acquainted with the Bible or you’ve been reading it for years, this is a great way to grow in the application of God’s Word and is a great way to meet and connect with others in our body.

FOUNDATIONS

If you’ve not yet taken our Foundations class, start here to learn the essentials of who we are as a local church, discuss what we believe, and talk about church membership, while building relationships and community together. This class is the primary relational on-ramp into the life of our body and perfect for those looking to join community and/or be baptized. Our next session starts THIS Sunday, January 19th, running 5 weeks on Sundays at 12pm after the gathering. Lunch is provided – so please register!

CORNERSTONE COMMUNITIES

Our Cornerstone Communities meet in the neighborhoods around Seattle throughout the week to open the Word, pray, and share life together. If you’ve already taken Foundations but have yet to get connected to a community, we’d invite you to do so now in this season! Find our current communities and get connected here:

MEN’S DISCIPLESHIP NIGHTS

Our next quarterly Men’s Discipleship Night is just a few weeks away, on Friday, Jan 24th, at 6:30p. These are valuable times to pull together as God’s men to share a meal, hear from God’s Word, ask questions, and connect with each other. Whether you’re brand new to DCC or a lifetime member, this will be an enriching time in the Word and relationships.

WOMEN’S DISCIPLESHIP BRUNCHES

Our next quarterly Women’s Discipleship Brunch will be on Saturday, March 15, and registration is open! This will be the second in the series studying the minor prophets, learning from Nahum. You’ll hear from gifted women in our body through Scriptural exposition, testimony, and table discussion. We invite you to read the minor prophets ahead of our events, individually or in discipleship groups, with this minor prophets reading plan to help your study (printed copies are available at the connect desk).

Lastly, I encourage you to stay connected with us by installing the Church Center App, where we post important church-wide updates and notifications.

Blessings,
Pastor Justin
