  • “Body Life Basics is a foundational program for Christian growth and maturity from a congregational perspective. It covers the breadth of our corporate life together by discussing how worship, prayer, Bible study, fellowship, life stewardship, service, and outreach combine to grow and sustain the health of the congregation and also greatly benefit the individual. The interactive structure of the program provides a framework that goes beyond just increasing attendance numbers to a concentrated focus on reproducing disciples of Christ and providing them with opportunities for growth, service, and leadership. The result is a deeper relationship with Christ, a stronger connection to their community, and clarity about our calling of servanthood.”

    REV. BOB PUDELL, PASTOR

  • “Body Life Basics equips Christians to understand the process of spiritual growth and then evaluate their own spiritual maturity. It is an essential tool for church leaders who want their church to fulfill its role in growing disciples of Christ.”

    PAUL BOCCI, ELDER, EMERITUS

  • “Body Life Basics is providing a clear and simple vision for our congregation of the full kingdom life that is possible for the church of the 21st century and a plan to achieve that vision through the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in our community of faith.”

    REV. TOM GIBBONS, PASTOR

  • “Body Life Basics laid out the organization of our church and allows you to find out where you are and where you want to go within the life of our church. It helps you figure out what you need to get deeper in your life at church.”

    TOM CUMMINGS

    MATT WATTS

  • “This is a great course to help anyone understand what God's real plan for you is.”
