Discovery Experience is an 8-week small group journey designed to help people answer the question “How is God uniquely calling me to invite people into conversations about Jesus?”

It was created by Northwest Bible spiritual formation staff to equip tour church body to more effectively have conversations about Jesus with those who don’t yet know Him, and it’s our most important next step to develop proficiency!

“What will I get out of Discovery Experience?”
