210 ProjectThe 210 Project is a 12-session study based on Ephesians 2:10: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ

Jesus for good works, which God has prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” This study helps to

answer questions like, “What am I here for? What Does God want me to do

with my life? and Will the Lord give me the ability to do what He wants me to

do?” This practical, engaging and intentional process will guide you to

discovering your unique spiritual DNA. Class size is limited and preparations

are being made for the next session which will begin on Sunday, January 10,
