GROWING PEOPLE CHANGE WITHIN
The Holy Spirit wants to work in every one of us to make us more and more like Jesus—knowing him better, loving God and our neighbors and making disciples. And this doesn’t happen in isolation. At Friends Church, we believe we grow best when we’re in community with one another.
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

GHOST: A STUDY ON THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
CLASSROOM 1 // PASTOR ADAM FALKENSTEIN
Over the course of this study, we will take in depth looks at what Scripture has to tell us about the Holy Spirit so that we might discover and understand Him more. The goal is that, by the end, you will be tuned in to understand what He desires for your life, the gifts He has given you and how He wants you to utilize them, and most importantly, who He is and how He works in our life.
