LIFE STUDIES

If we are committed to growing closer to God, one of the most important things we can do is spend time studying God’s Word with other Christians.  Life Study classes are a great way to do this!  Life Study classes meet on Sunday mornings during the worship hours.  Here's a list of our Spring classes which begin on Sunday, January 3rd.

Family Matters
Family Matters will study the marriages and families of the Bible beginning with Adam and Eve and ending with Mary, Joseph and Jesus.  Each week we will have a time of study of the appropriate Bible passages and practical application to family life, marriage and parenting.  There will be plenty of time for class discussion and participation.

Faith and Fellowship - Romans
Romans is one of the most important and practical books in the New Testament.  It contains many foundational truths like God's righteousness, which is made available to us through the sacrifice of Jesus.  As well as the security we have that nothing in creation can ever separate us from God's love in Christ.

Teachers: Dave Coles and Gary Corde
Room: 207/209

Living Stones - Luke
Luke invites us to embrace God's plan of salvation achieved through Jesus Christ, to follow after Jesus as His disciple, and to enter into and persevere in the new community created by that salvation and discipleship.

Kairos—The Acts of the Apostles
The Apostle Paul deals with a confrontation having to do with his authority, with false teaching, and with a challenge to his apostolic integrity.  He asserts his right as an apostle to warn false teachers even as he prepares to visit Corinth to preach that his life-transforming message is true.  The class begins with coffee and a prayer time for needs known to and shared by class members.
