Elective Classes
YOUTH | Why Trust the Bible?
What is the Bible? What does it seek to prove? How did we get it? Why should I believe it? How does it apply to me thousands of years after it was written? What is the evidence that it’s true? We face these questions with increasing frequency. With popular culture moving on from the authority and morality of scripture, we must take personal responsibility for where we place our trust. In this class we will discuss what the Bible is all about, why we can trust its teachings, and how we apply its truth.

How to Study the Bible
Understanding the Bible isn't just for the few, the gifted, and the scholarly. The Bible is meant to be read and comprehended by everyone from casual readers to seminary students. Even a few essential insights into the Bible can clear up a lot of misconceptions and help you grasp the meaning of Scripture and its application to your life today.
Our class is based on Gordon Fee's "How to Read the Bible for All its Worth" designed to give you the tools to your hands and the fire to your heart to love and know God's word.

Defending Your Faith
In this class we explore the world of scripture, history, philosophy and science to give a reasonable defense of the Christian worldview. We engage with questions that we, our neighbors, and our culture asks of the Bible and of God. We aim to equip ourselves to "always give a defense of the hope that is found in us" (1 Peter 3:15).

Study Material: Isaiah: Striving Less and Trusting God More
Isaiah served as God’s mouthpiece to the nation of Judah but also to the surrounding nations. His message echoes into our lives today as we read his call to rely on the Lord. Using the genres of poetry, narrative, and prophecy, Isaiah communicated clearly that followers of God could trust in Him.
Unpacking Isaiah’s words will reveal that you can trust God more than your own human effort or the counterfeits the world suggests. You won’t be striving harder, but instead trusting more deeply the Faithful One who is so worthy of our utter dependence. In Him you'll find the comfort and peace you need to sustain you.

We desire to build marriages through relational healing.
*This class meets on Friday nights at 7:30PM.

Grow U Men's Class
Godly men don't happen by accident. No man will get anywhere in life without discipline―and growth in godliness is no exception. Join us for this semester as we work through Disciplines of a Godly Man by Kent Hughes. This course is designed to help you navigate through how the disciplines of topics such as purity, friendship, manhood, family, integrity, work, leadership, prayer and much more affect our souls, character, ministry and our relationships. It's too good not to prioritize.
