Grow
Learn more about the ways we grow
Knowing how much God loves us, knowing how Jesus has saved us and given us eternal life, knowing the Holy Spirit supports and comforts us - these truths grow in us the desire to learn more, and here at TLC Monte we regularly have opportunities for Christians and people seeking to explore faith to grow in their knowledge and love of God. We hope you join us as we grow in knowledge of the Lord, and love of neighbor!
Adult Christian Ed
TLC + Friends Book Club:
TLC + Friends Book Club Fall 2024 book selection is Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life, written by one of the most important Christian spiritual leaders of the past half century, Father Richard Rohr. In it, Rohr encourages the reader, and provides a roadmap of sorts, for growing into a spiritually mature person of faith. All adult members of Trinity and friends are welcome and encouraged to participate in this book club! Please let the church office know if you would like a copy of this book. The book club schedule will be announced later in September - please join us! If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Jeff.
