Invitation to the Jesus Life
The Jesus Life

Lots of people claim to be “Christian” these days. (What does that even mean any more?) Far less people seem to actually be very much like Jesus. Perhaps fewer still even want to be like Jesus.

What about you? Do YOU want to be like Jesus? Do you think that’s even possible? If it is possible, would you like to know HOW?

Here at CUMC we take becoming like Jesus very seriously. It is part of our mission after all–”To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” A disciple (or apprentice) is someone who is learning to become like their master.

Our next series, beginning Sunday August 3, and running until the beginning of Advent, is an Invitation To The Jesus Life–Experiments in Christlikeness, based on the book with the same title by Jan Johnson. We will be taking a deep dive into the life and ways of Jesus, and learning how we, too, can embody Jesus-like qualities and characteristics.

We will also have the honor of hosting Jan Johnson the weekend of November 15-16. (More details to come.) We hope you join us for this series–both in our Sunday services and in our Table Groups.

Find a Table Group at Castleton.

Each week, groups across the church meet in homes, at church, at restaurants, and online to grow together in their discipleship journey.

Parts of the year, these groups will all be working through the same material, in line with our worship services. Other times, groups select their own material for conversation and study.

We invite you to stop by any of the following groups anytime.
