| Student Center Expansion Has Begun |
Construction has begun on the Student Center Expansion Project! On May 30, walls began to come down and dust went flying as the demolition phase of the project began. The start of this project marks the first step toward creating much needed space for UVF students at The Anvil Student Center. Stay up to date on the expansion through our monthly Forge Reports and by following us on social media.
Please join us in blessing current and future UVF students through this project! Follow the "read more" link for information and to donate.

Leadership Tools by Dr. Don Meyer
|
Wilson, Scott; Bates, John. Clear the Stage: Making Room for God. Influence Resources, 2015.
"If you're willing to clear the stage in your leadership to make room for the Holy Spirit, He will do wonders in and through you." Authors and Pastors Scott Wilson and John Bates discuss letting the Holy Spirit take control of your ministry in their book, "Clear the Stage: Making Room for God." Through their own personal experiences, Wilson, with the help of Bates, tells his story about how he got out of the way and let God take over his ministry. Through "clearing the stage" of himself, trusting God and following the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Wilson tells of the revival that the Holy Spirit brought to his church and his own life. Wilson believes that the message God gave him does not just apply to him but to everyone. Let God take the stage, clear it of yourself, and let him take control and lead.
