If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat – This 6 week course, based on the book by John Ortberg, invites you to consider the potential that awaits you outside your comfort zone when you answer Christ’s call to greater faith, power-filled deeds, and a new way of knowing him. Do you like to read? Follow along in the book. Don’t have time for the book? In-class videos allow you to join the discussion.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT classes begin January 7th. Deeper Connections – An exciting combination of class discussion and video reflections by leading biblical experts, this series focuses on the miracles, parables, and prayers of Jesus. Each week, you will learn the historical and cultural background of the scripture on location in Israel, then take a closer look at the text and its meaning. Finally, you will be challenged to apply the Bible’s message to your own life and circumstances.
- Small Groups:
Faith building, fun, and service! Gather weekly in a home with 6 to 10 people to grow in faith and get to know each other on a personal level. When do Small Groups begin? We will have a big rally day for small groups on January 11 with carry-in lunch where you can learn more about small groups before signing up. We will show a video bible study that you may use in your group. Pick a group that best meets your schedule and your interest.
