Fall Semester 2017 Discipleship Opportunities
Is there an expense in taking a class? Only if a course has a literature requirement. Many courses have daily workbooks that expand and multiply the learning experience outside of class time. Most any class can be audited (taking a class w/o benefit of purchasing needed materials) but this will affect your learning experience. Why should I Register? Registration helps in the assigning of classroom space and ordering needed literature. A registration form is available with this brochure. You can leave the form at the registration table or turn it in to the church office. Please, register as soon as possible. What about my children? To make sure that childcare and other facilities are available during your class time, please record on your registration form the number and ages of the children you will bring.

Fall Semester 2017 Sharing Jesus (without freaking out)
Paul’s letter to the Romans is an inspired masterpiece of doctrine highlighting God’s grace, truth, and redemption. Within its pages, the apostle shares his message of good news and eternal salvation with the church, advises believers on theological truths, gives practical applications for living the Christian life, and shows how God’s righteousness comes by grace alone through faith in Christ. The book of Romans underscores that Christianity is far more than just a doctrine—it is an essential road map for daily living. (Part One)

Fatherhood is more than just protecting and providing for your kids. Being a dad is one of the most important and influential roles a man could ever play in his life. But being a good dad doesn’t always come naturally. This world needs more good dads. We need men who are willing to embrace the long road of building and cultivating a family. We need men who are willing to admit they haven’t figured it out and are prepared to do the work of learning how to lead and love their kids well. 33 The Series will help you begin to think strategically about being a dad. A Man and His Fatherhood provides insights and biblical truth that can carry you through the confusion and dark moments of fatherhood and also energize you for its high points and powerful moments. In addition to key foundational truths, this study gives dads an inspiring vision for grace-based parenting as well as how we as dads can point our kids toward true greatness and set them up for extraordinary lives. It also equips dads with important distinctions in raising sons and daughters.
What if someone told you evangelism is less about delivering a polished presentation and more about having a real conversation? What if someone told you that God has created you to bring glory to himself by sharing Jesus with others, and that you don’t need years of training to obey what he already made you to do? God created you for his glory to advance his gospel with the gifts, talents, and opportunities he gave you. You live at this time in history for a purpose bigger than yourself. In this study you will discover how to connect the gospel story with your story, and how to talk about that story in normal conversations with people you know. No gimmicks. Nothing clever. No need to freak out. Just you, Jesus, and others—in conversations that matter.

Join us on Saturday mornings! (6 Weeks)
All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you. The Enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.
