Commitment produces maturity NOT vice versa

Many people are afraid of commitment. Others think they'll be ready once they mature. Truth is: commitment produces maturity not vice versa. Think about marriage. It's the lifelong covenant of marriage that demands personal growth in each spouse.

Spiritual growth is similar. We grow through commitment. Here's an opportunity for YOU to grow!

If you have not YET been through Lifehouse's Life Commitments process, sign up. It's starting THIS Sunday!

Life Commitments is an exciting 8-week discipleship course that teaches commitment to God and commitment to the body of Christ (the church). We believe the church is a family; and it takes commitment to build a strong family. The course is an interactive teaching with video illustrations, gifts assessment tests, and plenty of group discussions. The process concludes with an overnight retreat, where students are given the opportunity to deepen relationships with others in the class, review the material, and allow each person to individually experience God’s presence in a life transforming way. After completion of the course, individuals are given the opportunity to become a “Ministry Partner.”

The Winter Semester begins January 15 and ends March 4. The following class times are offered weekly at Lifehouse Bethel (515 E. Wilson Blvd. Hagerstown, MD):

Sundays, 2:00-3:30 PM
Sundays, 6:00-7:30 PM
Thursdays, 6-7:30 PM
