Launch into Extraordinary Love with our Discipleship Launch Sequence!
What is the "Launch Sequence"?
In 2018, a group of Suntree Pastors and Lay People met to cast vision for the future of our church. After much prayer and conversation, E3, a four step plan for expanding discipleship, community, outreach, and missions at Suntree United Methodist Church, was born. As our team prayed about developing creative ways to communicate this 4 step process, our minds turned to the history of our local community, the Space Coast. We arrived at language we felt would be familiar to many of our members with ties to the Space Program: a 4 stage launch sequence.
The goal of this plan is for it to be useful for all members at all stages in their discipleship, to help people grow in their love for God, their community, and the world, and for the Launch into Extraordinary Love to become a part of the way we talk about discipleship at Suntree United Methodist Church.

We look forward to growing together this Advent!
Pastor's Study: Light of the World | 12pm | Room 108 | Pastor Bailey. The word “advent” means “coming” or “arrival.” It refers to the season of eager anticipation for the birth of Jesus on Christmas. During this season, we focus on preparing ourselves spiritually, and we reflect on the meaning of the incarnation, where God takes on flesh and dwells with us. Author, professor, and biblical scholar Amy-Jill Levine explores the biblical texts surrounding the story of the birth of Jesus. Join her as she traces the Christmas narrative through the stories of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Mary, the journey to Bethlehem, and the visit from the Magi. Each session will include a video, teaching, and group discussion. This four-week study will by led by Pastor Bailey on Sundays from December 1st to December 22nd at 12pm in Room 108.
Women’s Advent Study: The Marvel and Miracle of Advent | 10:30am | Room 103/104 | Michelle Garrett. Jesus’ arrival on earth changed the course of history forever. Not only for those who lived in the first century, but for those of us in the twenty-first century as well. The miracle and marvel of the Advent season demonstrates that we are precious to him. He’s not a distant God. He is Emmanuel, God with us. That includes wherever you are, right now. Join Christine Caine and Lisa Harper this Advent season for a four-session video Bible study like no other. Your hope and spirit will be revived as you recapture the wonder of Jesus’ obvious love for you. You’ll discover that Advent is not only a season of waiting and preparation, but also, it’s a season of action to share the hope of Jesus with everyone. This four-week study will be led by Michelle Garrett on Sundays at 10:30am from December 1st to December 22nd in Room 103/104.
