Do you want to know more about who we are as a church and figure out your next step?  
 
In-person | Sunday, Sept. 25 | 12:30-3 pm @ OCS Library (Register here)

Virtual | Thursday, Sept. 29 | 7-9:30 pm Online (Register here)
 
Both classes have the same content and are taught by Pastor Ryan Dawson, and Connect 101 is really helpful for everyone regardless of where you are on your journey with God. We will talk about what it means to be part of the Family of God and part of the Sequoia Family. We will look at the vision, mission, strategy, and structure of Sequoia and how we work together to accomplish all that God desires for our church. Connect 101 is an important “launch pad” for greater engagement at Sequoia and it will help you determine your next step. You are also welcome to invite others who attend Sequoia to join this class.
