2025: Rooted in Truth, Growing In Grace

Join us for the Mission Church 2025 Book Club! This is an opportunity to grow deeper in your faith and connect with others as we read and discuss books that challenge, encourage, and equip us to live gospel-centered lives. Each month, we’ll gather to explore works by trusted authors that help us know Christ more deeply, marvel at His glory, and engage the world with truth and grace.

Meetings will take place on the last Monday of each month (except May, when we’ll meet on the last Tuesday). Whether you’re a seasoned reader or just looking to get started, we’d love for you to join us as we journey through these impactful titles together. Let’s grow in the Word and community as we pursue Jesus and His kingdom!
