1 JANUARY - MARCH 2019 THE GUIDE

2 2 Contents 2-3 Welcome 4 Pastoral Team 5 Bold Faith 6-7 Weekends 8-16 Groups 17 KidZone Youth Young Adults Events Classes Serve Resources Our Mission To reach, teach, and equip people to know, love, and serve Jesus. Our Vision To reach 1% of greater Edmonton for Christ; engaging people to Connect with God, Grow through Community, and Serve our World.

3 3 Journey with Us My hope is that this Guide might help you assess the next step in your faith journey. Whether you describe yourself as just starting a faith inquiry or are a long-time Christ follower, our desire is to create places and spaces where you can come to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ. In the following pages, you will find a description and overview of the ministries at Beulah s Campuses. If you have any questions, we invite you to contact us. We d love to resource you in determining how to be involved. A large church feels small when we move beyond the weekend services and become part of a group and/or through finding a unique place to serve. I encourage you to experience the difference that Jesus can make in your life, and in your family s lives. Please take a few minutes to pray and listen for what God might have in store for you as you read through this Guide. Keith Taylor, Lead Pastor
