SUMMARY:Thinking Thursday: What Does It Mean To Be Baptist?
DESCRIPTION:Many have wondered why there is such a diversity of Christian denominations and traditions.  It’s a good question, and the Bradley Study Center seeks to understand that question better. Join us as we explore many of Christianity’s various traditions. Learn about other denominations’ histories, liturgies, polities, controversies, practices, and their shared commitment to Jesus Christ as the central figure of their faith.\nThis event is the fifth in our series titled, “Exploring the Beauty and Breadth of the Church.” Previously, we learned about what it means to be Anglican, Catholic, Methodist, Eastern Orthodox, and Presbyterian, and this time around, we will be exploring Baptist!\nGet to know our Guest Speaker:\nJeff Noble is the Lead Pastor of Northstar Church, where he has served for 17 years. He desires to equip people to “be the church.” He and Carolyn have been married 34 years and are loving the new adventure of grandparenting. Jeff is a fantasy football champion, a lover of bad coffee, and enjoys movies and dad jokes. Jeff is the author of Super Center Savior and writes regularly at his Substack jeffnoble.net ( http://jeffnoble.net/ ).\nRSVP here!
