    Pastor Lee and Pastor Ike will be leading a group through a study from Francis Chan on the Gospel of Mark.  

    The Gospel of Mark chronicles Jesus’s journey from Galilee to Jerusalem. Along the way, the Messiah gathers a ragged band of disciples. As crowds grow and dwindle on the road to Jerusalem, only a few stick by the suffering savior on the road of discipleship.

    In this 11-part series we are invited to grow in the ancient ways of the Master. Tracing the steps of Jesus and the Twelve through Israel, we will explore the major themes of the Gospel of Mark, and we will ask ourselves: Are we willing to embrace discipleship?
