Discipleship
A Core Value here at State Road is “Transformation.” Dispensing information about God has it’s place in the church, to be sure. However, the priority is to help each other experience transformation. Specifically, transformation into the character of Jesus Christ. Mere knowledge of Jesus and His Kingdom is insufficient. God’s goal is that we “be conformed to the likeness of His Son” (Romans 8:29). How’s that going for you?
