New Wednesday Night Classes

March 27-May 22

Luke Study: Gut-Level Compassion (Ladies)

Teachers:   Denise Eady & Tiffany Arnold

Study Guide: $16   Room:  W207

PERFECTION NOT REQUIRED     Many of us believe that we aren’t good enough to meet other people’s expectations. Maybe you can’t wrap words around why, but lurking beneath the surface of the carefully curated façade you present in public, it’s there. Being missed and marginalized by others moves us to assume we’re not quite good enough for God either.

The great news woven throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. In fact, this riveting account reveals that Jesus is especially fond of ragamuffins in need of a safe place to lean in and linger! Join Lisa Harper in this Bible study of a literary masterpiece that doesn’t celebrate the elite, but embraces the outliers, outcasts, and overlooked!

Heart of the Problem: How to Stop Coping and Find the Cure for Your Struggles (Co-Ed)

Workbook: $20    Room W201

Classes that Continue

****Paused until June - ROOTED. (Ladies)

Led by Cynthia Collins.

No Cost. A122

No fees. No homework. No video. No lesson plan. You only need your Bible or your Bible app on your phone.

Rooted eliminates the worry of missing a class as well as the intimidation and reluctance some women feel when starting a new Bible study. This will be a safe and nurturing space for the woman or teen girl who:

• volunteers during all service times and misses opportunities to connect and study God’s word with others.

• is looking to grow deeper in God’s word with a mentor.

• wants to learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus so she can in turn make other disciples, fulfilling the Great Commission.

• feels intimidated or incapable of understanding the Bible on her own, but wants to learn how.

• is not a Christian but wants to find out more and attend with a friend with no expectations or obligations.

• is a Christian with or without a church home and would also like to attend with a friend with no expectations or obligations.

• is low on funds to purchase a book or time to do homework.

• feels intimidated about starting a study because she knows she can’t come to every class.

• needs a friend.

• has little or a deep knowledge of God’s word.

Colossians 2:7 says, “Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.”

We believe this method of studying God’s word helps remove many obstacles women face as well as ignites passion for spending time in God’s word and discipleship.

Finding your own Faith and Defending the Faith in the World

Griefshare. (Co-ed)

Led by Pastor John Nance.

Study Guide: $15.00. W209

 It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.

This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before.   GriefShare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. 

The Great Commission: Making Disciples

Led by Jim Cannady.

No cost. Room W204

(April 17 - May 22)

After His resurrection, Jesus gave His followers a mission: to go to all the nations and make disciples. What does this Great Commission mean? How are disciples made? And does every Christian have a role to play?

The Great Commission is defined using key terms such as the gospel, evangelism, missions, and discipleship. It explains that disciple-making requires much more than just sharing the gospel, and two thousand years after Jesus’ commission, this mission continues.
