This week is our annual Ignite Series, a Spiritual Emphasis Week when we’re asking God to light a spiritual flame in each of us. One that will move us to know Him more fully, follow Him more deeply and reflect Him more brightly. Our guest speaker is Reverend Courtney Richards, a global missionary who has spent his life and ministry focus on mentoring young leaders in the church and training others to make disciples.
