Men of DCC,

This Friday, October 27th, will be our first Men’s Pizza Night of the year, as an opportunity to grow in our faith together. We’ll be discussing Men as Theologians, as we consider how our knowledge of God – and our relationship with Him – impacts every aspect of our lives.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS EVENT?

Pastor Adam will lead the main session, and there will be a testimony, table discussion, and pastoral Q&A – all aimed at helping us connect our theology with our daily lives. This simple evening is meant to strengthen your faith and deepen your relationship with other brothers in DCC – you won’t regret spending this time together!

I’VE ATTENDED OTHER EVENTS BEFORE, WHY ATTEND THIS EVENT?

Chances are, you’ve probably already had pizza once in your life too… but that hasn’t stopped you from ever eating pizza again! Just like our physical bodies need food daily, so our souls need encouragement from the Scriptures and fellowship with other believers. Your participation will be a blessing to you and to your brothers in DCC. The Apostle Paul reminds us: “Train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” (1 Tim. 4:7-8)

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Men of DCC! Whether you’ve been a Christian for decades or for days, there will be something to stir your mind and faith. Whether you’re brand new to DCC, or have been around for 10 years – they’ll be good opportunities to connect and deepen your relationships.

WILL CORNERSTONE KIDS BE PROVIDED?

Unfortunately, no. While we understand that this can be a sacrifice for your family, we encourage you to consider this time as an investment in your spiritual health, which will undoubtedly pay dividends in your spiritual leadership and service to your family.

DCC,

As God’s people, we are called Christ’s body (1 Cor 12:12), a temple (1 Pet 2:5), citizens (Eph 2:19), and a family (Heb 3:6). All of these are relational realities, which involve being connected, interdependent, and growing together. Ephesians 4:15-16 gives us this picture of a body with many members working together for the health and growth of the body: Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. 

Did you catch that? Every member of the body is a gift from God, given for the purpose of building up the body! Just like the different parts of our physical body, no two of us are exactly the same, yet we are all needed for the health and growth of the body. That is why it has been our prayer from the beginning that all who consider DCC their home church would be relationally connected, intentionally growing, meaningfully serving and giving, missionally engaged, willingly accountable, and known by a pastor.

As we head into the fall and re-establish regular rhythms of life, let’s do so with the beautiful calling to be part of the DCC family in mind. There are many ways to take steps further into the life of our body this fall, many of which start this week:

FOUNDATIONS | Sundays, 8:30 am

If you’ve not yet taken the Foundations class, now is a great time to do so! We have this 5-week class as the relational on-ramp into the life of the church so that you can learn what we believe, how we belong, who we are, why we’re here, and how we operate, and find your place in our body! This class is the first step towards joining a community, getting baptized, and becoming a member. Register here and join us this Sunday.

EXPLORING CHRISTIANITY | Sundays, 12 pm

If you’re new to Christianity and interested in exploring Jesus’ claims, or wanting to grow in how to articulate the Christian faith to others, join our Exploring Christianity class after the gathering. Lunch is provided, so please Register here.

MIDWEEK BIBLE STUDY | Wednesdays, 7 – 8 pm

We meet at DCC’s building in Belltown each week for an inductive study of Scripture, led by one of the elders of DCC. Jump in any time, no need to register. Read more here.

FAMILY RHYTHMS

For those who have already taken the Foundations class and have been participating with us for a while, we invite you to further embed in the life of our church through:

• Our Cornerstone Communities, which meet mid-week around the city, are launching next week: Check out the current list of communities and get connected Here.
• Joining a serving team: Check out the current list of teams, and then fill out this form.
• Financially supporting the work of the church: Visit downtowncornerstone.org/give to learn more.
• Take the next step in becoming a member, by submitting a membership application.

ALREADY, AND MORE TO COME!

Every week, we gather to worship God together as an essential means of grace to us. Come early and stay late. Perhaps make a goal to meet one new person each week, or to catch-up and pray with someone you didn’t see that week.

In the coming months, we’ll have additional opportunities to gather together in men’s and women’s discipleship events, as well as service, mission, and mercy events, so stay tuned for more!

If you have any questions on where to take your next step, please let us know. I hope to see you soon!
