Foundations 101

What is at the heart of the Christian faith? Who is God really and what does He want with us (if anything at all)? In Foundations 101, we lay the groundwork for what the Christian life is all about. Whether you're in exploration mode or a devout follower of Christ, we all need to learn the essence of why we were created and if there really is a supernatural God. This class strips God from our cultural context, from church tradition and from media portrayal to look at what He says about Himself and about us.March 27 | 7 - 8:30 p.m.

Evangelism in the Modern World 101

Jesus commissioned all Christ followers with the joy and responsibility of sharing the good news about God's salvation and grace with other people. So why do many of us find this to be so difficult? Fear, insecurity, intimidation - all of these can be boundaries, not to mention the difficulty of navigating the changing beliefs of culture and biblical truth. In this online class, you'll confront the barriers that are keeping you from sharing about Jesus and practically learn how to navigate conversations of faith.March 22 and 29 | 7 - 8:30 p.m.

Grounded: Disciplining with Wisdom and Grace

Did your sweet little angel just talk back to you? And was that an eye roll you just witnessed? When it comes time to discipline our kids, parents can often find themselves facing a crisis of approach. While we might all agree that discipline is necessary, knowing exactly when and how to discipline can be much less clear. In this class, we go to the Bible to learn God's view of discipline and how it can and should be used as an instrument of love and learning.Thursdays, April 27 - May 11 | 6:30 - 8 p.m.
