Testimonies

Abide gave me the tools I had been looking for to grow deeper in my relationship with God and learn how to listen for that small, still voice. TheWay has impacted my life in a beautiful way and I hope to share that with others.

Diane Z

TheWay has been a turning point in my spiritual journey. TheWay devotionals provide a deeper level of understanding that is relevant to me. God speaks directly to me with love rather than judgement.

Frank P.

I’ve been a Christian for 40 years and I have never experienced hearing God’s voice until I started in Abide.

Anonymous

I facilitate a woman’s Abide group at my church and I can actually feel the difference the connection between the women has made in the culture of the church.

Brun S.

The Way series is foundational teaching to abide in Christ. In my experience, the daily devotionals and mentorship has been one of the best spiritually growing exercises.

Rick F.

One of the best decisions made for growing in my faith and creating a stronger foundation of belief was starting and continuing with TheWay.

Adam N.

As a Women’s ministry leader, I found myself searching for something to re-energize my Christian walk. I needed a spiritual Emergency Room. I stumbled on Church Renewal on the internet and am so thankful God led me to the Abide mentoring group and a Set Free retreat. I encourage anyone seeking resources, encouragement, prayer, or spiritual renewal to learn more about Church Renewal!

Upcoming Online Groups

What are TheWay Groups?

A pathway of purpose for men and women interested in growing in their walk with Jesus Christ. New groups will be starting January 2025.

Starting point: Abide in Christ
Have you ever lost your way? Do you find what you are anchored to is not quite as steady as you hoped it would be? Are you looking for the abundant, overflowing life that Jesus spoke of and can't find it? Abide in Christ is a pathway of purpose for those who are either exploring it for the first time, or for experienced travellers.

Wondering if this is for you? You can "Test Drive" Abide for 5 weeks. After that you can opt out or continue for the remaining lessons.

Other modules: Grow Character, The Grand Story, Prayer & Fasting, Lead Well, Share Our Faith, Importance of Doctrine, God the Trinity, Spiritual Gifts.

Check out the group options! Or fill out this form and we will connect with you.
