The Valley Church - Piqua
God has made each of us to be unique masterpieces - specially gifted and designed to be used for a distinct purpose. There is no one like you in all the world and no one can do exactly what you can do.
We have all been shaped in 5 key ways that make us who we are. Discovering that SHAPE reveals how God will use us in His world and what our purpose is. When we turn each of the tumblers on a combination lock we unlock the potential it holds. The same is true of our lives. When we discover how we are shaped, we unlock the unique combination that allows us to finally realize what we were created to accomplish.
