Benton First United Methodist
To Grow Toward Jesus And Make God Known
Journey of Faith
This year Benton First has begun the process of developing a plan of intentional faith development to partner with our congregation to become disciples of Jesus Christ.  We believe disciples are people who are becoming one with Christ, one with each other and one in mission to the whole world.  We would like all of our members to grow in grace and we want to offer opportunities to help the process.  We know that God is molding and shaping us, and we believe that we can be more open to this process by participating in various 'means of grace'.  Some 'means of grace' available at Benton First are worship, the practice of receiving Holy Communion, Bible studies, small groups, Sunday School classes, various ministry and outreach opportunities, and prayer groups.  We hope to develop a pathway to meet our members at various stages as we are being transformed.  Please contact the church office with your questions and comments.
