PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

We believe God is calling the Church to make disciples more intentionally. Listen to our President, Charles Galda, to hear how Vision New England is working with New England church leaders to form cultures of disciple making.

MAKE DISCIPLES Teach Them to Obey My Commands (Matt. 28:19)

Podcast: How God Transforms Us, Part 1   Pastor Dave Ripper shares the nature and impact of the spiritual disciplines through the works of Dallas Willard. We believe God's heart is to renew us through the spiritual disciplines - not to force us to strive after standards we can't reach alone.    Listen here Podcast: How God Transforms Us, Part 2   Pastor Dave Ripper discusses how we can practically apply the spiritual disciplines. Pastor Dave also shares a comprehensive list of his recommended books by Dallas Willard, all exploring the role of disciplines in the life of a Christian.   Listen here

Podcast: Creating A Disciple Making Culture   Dr. Greg Ogden shares how we can move past this culture of passive faith and begin intentionally creating disciples who make more disciples, taking churches filled with people who depend on their pastor to be fed, acting “Christian” without truly following Christ, into full, sincere discipleship.   Listen here Podcast: Transformative Bible Meditation and Memorization   Rev. Dr. Rex Keener shares how scripture memorization and meditation has impacted his personal faith journey, along with tips to sustainably incorporate scripture memorization into your daily rhythms.       Listen here
