Growing

January 11 - March 28

Making Marriage Work - led by Kirk & Alicia Cuevas

Marriage is a work in progress.  When you put the time and effort into your marriage, it grows better and better.  Neglect it, and problems can quickly become overwhelming.  Walk with your spouse through a journey to enrich your marriage. Learn Biblical foundations of marriage, better communication, love languages, how to affair-proof our marriage, and more. Whether you are newlyweds or a storied couple, this class will help you love each other better and set you on a course to a happier home.

How to Study the Bible - led by Kevin Jackson

How many times have you tried to open God's Word only to be stymied by some question or confusion:  What does that mean?  Why is this book so different from book to book?  Studying the Bible isn't nearly as hard as you think.  Learn the basics of the Bible and how to interpret it correctly.  You will learn ways to dig deeper into the Scriptures and feel much more confident about your personal study time.

A Study of Luke - Led by Frank Patrick & Adam Robinson

You can never get enough of the gospels.  Each one reveals something unique about Jesus and deepens our knowledge and experience of Him.  From birth narratives, to parables like the Prodigal Son, to His crucifixion and resurrection, we will survey the entire life of Jesus through Luke's eyes.  Get ready to delve deep!

Hiding in Plain Sight - Led by Mark Means

We somehow think that everyone else has it all together, that "they" are doing OK.  We think "they" understand some secret about life and being a Christian that we don't.  We often simplify the complicated and complicate the simple.  Hear the stories of 10 special guests who have learned to "look" good but keep their wounds and hurts contained.  They too, had hidden in plain sight.  If you struggle but tend to "grin and bear it," come find strength, wisdom and friendships!

Missons - Led by Rick & Deb Kesecker

Ever wanted to do some good but didn’t know where to start? Christ calls us to love Him and others in word and deed, but if we don’t know how to help that can be difficult.  This semester the Kesecker’s and others from the Missions team will be taking this group on introductory trips to various ministries around the city.  You’ll be able to get your feet wet and see opportunities right in your backyard and still be back to pick up your kids by 7:30. In addition you’ll learn why loving in word and deed are equally necessary, mutually interdependent and inseparable ministries.  Don’t just learn why we advance the Kingdom through our service, come actually do it!
