Adult & College
The Listening Life with Ryan Cowell
This class provides an opportunity for us to examine ourselves to grow personally and together as a church. We will take time to slow down in a busy world and look for practical ways to live differently by listening first. How we listen (or don’t listen) greatly impacts our relationship with God, others, ourselves, scripture, and creation. The book can be found here.
The Person of Jesus: Honesty with Jake Posey and Jonathan Himes
In this follow-up to our Fall class, we’ll be looking at how “Jesus shows us that without truth, our relationships lack definition and meaning,” to quote from our guidebook’s first lesson. “The gift of compassion must be accompanied by the gift of truth for there to be balance in a relationship.” We have enjoyed our fellowship and discussion that arise from this well-designed curriculum that blends rich participation and direct teaching so that class members are brought closer to the personhood of Jesus and his Way of Life.
High School & College
Justification: Right with God
A class for 9th grade and above in our newest downstairs classroom. We’ll discover together how Jesus deals with our sin and secures eternal life for us. How he reverses the badness of this world.
College Students are invited to join either High School & College class, or any Adult class based on their preference.
Spring Midweek Events
Wednesday Dinner
Wednesdays, 5:30-6 p.m.
A time for fellowship and a simple dinner (pizza or subs).
Suggested donation of $5 per person or max of $20 per family.
Adult Small Groups
Wednesdays, 6-7 p.m.
This year we will have adult small group discussion groups with the goal of deepening our application of the Gospel as well as deepening our relationship to one another. Discussion questions will be posted on the church’s webpage that are centered on applying the message of the prior week’s sermon. For those that miss Sunday worship, audio of the sermon will be posted to the church’s Spotify channel.
Intergenerational Learning
Throughout the year we will also have some intergenerational events in lieu of our regular classes as we keep cultivating our life together across age groups. Our first will be October 15th!
Children
Children through 4th grade start together with opening songs. The PreK and Kindergarteners then split off for a Bible lesson with songs and other activities until parents pick them up at 7. After the opening, 1st through 4th graders learn the basics of our Faith through the First Catechism. Then they move upstairs for children’s choir. Our goal is to not only help our children grow as participants in worship, but also to grow as worship-leaders. Through this music time, the children will also prepare to join with our adult choir and lead us occasionally on Sunday mornings. At 7pm the kids move into either the fellowship hall or outside (weather permitting) for a group game until parents pick them up by 7:20pm.
Tweens
This year we are adding a tween section on Wednesday nights! Lessons for 5th and 6th graders will be centered around learning to know and apply the message of the Gospel to their lives in practical ways through a curriculum called “What’s Up?”. They will join the music time with the rest of the children for the second half of the evening.
Youth Group
Our youth will meet in the gym for a time of singing, a devotional lesson, small-group reflection and prayer, and a game (and probably some general shenanigans). We’ll be discussing the Books of History, from Joshua through David. A fresh look at the stories you thought you knew from a new perspective. Bring your friends!
