Starting Point Recycles

Here’s a word from Kevin Rogers who serves the church by coordinating ministry teams, Starting Point and much more:

The Starting Point class is just that, a starting point. People who are looking for a church and have questions about Covenant Life are welcome to come and discover what we’re all about. The class is made up of several small groups led by pastors where you can get to know other people in a similar place in life while you enjoy coffee and light brunch fare. After a brief teaching from one of the pastors, you can ask questions and discuss what you’ve heard in a friendly setting.

There are nine different lessons, and you are invited to join us at any point.  Every nine weeks Starting Point comes back to Lesson 1, which gives us an ideal opportunity to take a glance back at what’s happened and encourage some of you to give the next round a try.  Here are just a few highlights from the last session:

• This class has had the most first-timers ever!  We had 65 people come for the first time for Lesson 1, with over 140 different people attending throughout the cycle.
• Over 30 high school seniors began the class.  Most of these students’ parents are members of Covenant Life, and they are now pursuing church membership for themselves.
• One young lady first found out about Covenant Life when she attended our ESL (English as a Second Language) course three years ago. She had just arrived from Korea and knew very little English. Two years later she came back with a co-worker to attend our Alpha program where they both heard the gospel and were gloriously saved. This month, they both completed Starting Point, became members of Covenant Life and got married!

If you’re not a member of a church or have been attending Covenant Life but have gotten involved, why not give it a try?  We can’t promise you’ll find a spouse or improve your English…but you never know.  We meet in the Pastor’s College classroom on the lower level of the building at 11:30 a.m. every Sunday. We’d love to see you there this week. If you want to know more about what it’s like and hear a few more stories, check out the brief video here.
