"Not only do we not know God except through Jesus Christ;
We do not even know ourselves
except through Jesus Christ."

Blaise Pascal

Identity
Many of us live our lives burdened with a false or negative self-image. This is not what Jesus has in mind for us.
Journey with us this weekend to seek the powerful, positive identity that Jesus has for you.

Guest Speakers:
John Slater and George O'Neil

George O'Neil and John Slater from Family Foundations will co-lead our 2011 Advance. Both John and George have extensive experience helping men recover or gain their identity in Christ and to shed any false identity they may be burdened with.

Guest Worship leader Chris Patterson
Chris has been involved with music and worship for years. He is planning to bring together multiple styles and performers to create a spirit lead weekend or worship
.

Small Groups
For some portions of the weekend you will have the opportunity to participate in a small group. This will give you a more relaxed, less intimidating atmosphere
.
