Church Challenge: Deeper Devotion

Dallas Willard insists that the purpose of the Church begins and ends with helping people be “transformed into the image of Jesus.”  VPC is trying to meet this challenge with our new discipleship position, filled so well, and shared, by Mike and Kelly Nieto. This fall, couples can grow more like Christ through the Alpha Marriage Course, and individuals can develop in the new full Alpha Course in Christian faith. The Day of Discipleship on September 24 will inspire any who come to see their lives as growth opportunities, no matter the obstacles. Small groups, retreats, classes, community groups—these are all opportunities to change and develop.

Family Focus: How do your kids know you love Jesus?  If you are married, talk with your spouse about how you are modeling your faith. If parenting as a single person, ask the same question.

About the Author
David Joynt

Dave Joynt began his service as a pastor at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona in September 2014. This meant a move away from the Northeast, where he has a long history, growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and then serving congregations in Delaware and New Jersey for a total of 23 years.

Dave was nurtured in a great church in Bethlehem where his parents, Anne and Carey, served as elders. He graduated in classics from Lehigh University where his Father taught, and then from Oxford, where he met his wife Julia. Ordained in 1988, he completed a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993.

He and Julia have a son, Tristan, and a daughter, Madeleine.
