Growing Into the Image of Christ
Join us for worship this Sunday at Monticello Baptist Church as we celebrate what God is doing in the life of our church family. We’ll begin the morning with the Ordinance of Believer’s Baptism as we rejoice with Ady in her public profession of faith.
Pastor David Artessa will then conclude our series, The Seven: Essentials of the Christian Life, with a message titled “Growing Into the Image of Christ.” Discipleship is more than a decision—it’s a lifelong journey of following Jesus, surrendering daily to His Lordship, and becoming more like Him. Together we’ll learn how daily obedience and spiritual growth lead to a deeper faith and a life marked by gratitude.
We’ll also hear from Kim McMichael as she shares about the ministry of the Jasper County Community Food Bankand how we can join in meeting needs right here at home.
