Worship Class

There is nothing quite like the power of example. In the Psalms, heroes of old lay bare their hearts before God and before us. We see the God that they praised and doubted, thanked and cursed, and ultimately trusted with their lives. This class will explore the nature of God as revealed by the Psalms as well as the promise he made that a Messiah would come. As we travel the same emotional path of faith that the psalmists did, connecting with God and his promises as they did can only make our walk more certain.

From the moment of its conception, the church has been called to be a light to the world. This has always meant for us to have an impact physically, emotionally, but most importantly spiritually in our communities. Join us as we explore how to be a light to those around us. You will leave with a greater conviction that the church and individual disciples are God’s plan to heal a divided and hurting world. You will also learn practical ways to reach out to people that live around you using both technology and our examples.

Professional Excellence Class

God created us, in part, to work. Even before the Fall we see Adam and Eve tending the garden. And yet we sometimes overlook our career as a primary means of growing in Christ. When we strive to keep in step with the spirit at work, we will have a world changing impact.
