Explore the writings of the New Testament using the story of Jesus as the starting point. This survey of the New Testament looks at how the early church took ownership of and was shaped by the story of Jesus and how the church learned how to develop as disciples and create communities of faith. Participants find a deeper conversation with the writers of the New Testament and a renewal of our commitment to be shaped -- personally and communally -- by the story of Jesus. The study is accessible for adults with little prior Bible experience, or lots!
Cost $20
Feel free to bring your lunch!

Are you weary from your challenges, wounded by your battles, or worried your world is spinning out of control? Like Esther, you may be staring down seemingly impossible situations. And what is true for Esther is true for you: deliverance will come. You, like Esther, can act in a way that will bless more people than you could imagine. This is your hour. This is your moment. Your challenge is an opportunity to join GOD in HIS work. So join us on Tuesdays this fall because you, my friend were made for this moment.

Participants should purchase You Were Made For this Moment, How the Story of Esther Inspires Us to Step Up and Stand Out for God by Max Lucado before class. Please bring your Bible and a journal or spiral notebook and pen. We will be using these tools for the study.

Learn to utilize the Enneagram, an ancient tool from centuries of Judeo-Christian faith and scholarship that teaches us how to cultivate self-awareness, spiritual growth, and personal transformation. Insights from this course can answer life-long questions about our behavior and unproductive patterns. Self-knowledge assists in our walks with God, enables our true and best self to emerge, and can change our relationships with others.

This advanced course delves into instinctual drives and their impact on our behaviors and is for those who have completed the Enneagram Journey course. Becoming aware of our Subtype helps explain differences in people with the same Enneagram number. In this chaotic and conflicted world, knowledge of Subtypes is essential for parents, partners, and people seeking to understand patterns of unproductive behavior.

The news tells us that we live in a divided world with little hope of finding common ground. Come join us as we explore a time in history when divisions between people of The Way seemed insurmountable. The counsel provided in the Epistle to the Ephesians offers encouragement  to turn our eyes away from our differences and to embrace the example Christ provided to us for unity. Come join us as we seek the wisdom of God through this first century letter to God's beloved people living in a divided world.
Bring your bible, a journal, and your dinner every week as we explore Ephesians together!
