Midweek Bible Study: Living Life Backwards - How Ecclesiastes Teaches Us To Live In Light Of The End

Keeping the end in mind shapes how we live our lives here and now. Living life backward means taking the one thing in our future that is certain—death—and letting that inform our journey before we get there. Looking at the Book of Ecclesiastes for wisdom will shake up our expectations and priorities for what it means to live the “the good life.” Join us as we study Ecclesiastes together and learn to live life backward.

Regular Class Option

Classes range in various areas of biblical study. Some classes are a one-time study, while others are offered throughout the year.​

Foundations of Personal Finance

Most of us graduated from high school never learning the basics of how to handle our money well. We were forced to learn through trial and error, and if you are like most people, it has cost you a lot of pain, regret, frustration, and for those of you who are married, a lot of money fights. This class will teach you God’s ways of handling money and will be very practical in nature. You’ll learn how and where to save your money, how to put together and live on a written plan, and how to begin investing. You’ll learn which insurances to buy and which ones to avoid. You’ll also create your own personalized plan for how to get out of debt and/or stay out of debt. This class would be suitable for teenagers all the way through retirees!

Grandparenting Matters

 Are you ready to “Grandparent on Purpose?” For some of you this class will affirm the good things you are already doing with your grandkids. For others, it will shake your world and give you a brand-new perspective on what it means to be a grandparent. Whether you are at one end of that spectrum or the other — or in the middle somewhere — you are going to be deeply impacted by this class.  Our six-week class will consist of the below weekly sessions.
 
Session 1 – The Amazing Influence of a Grandparent
Session 2 – What the Bible Says About Grandparenting
Session 3 – Reaching the Heart of Your Grandchild
Session 4 – Overcoming the Barriers of Distance
Session 5 – The Eight Best Practices of Christian Grandparents
Session 6 – Becoming an Intentional Christian Grandparent
 
It is important for you to have your own workbook, as there are illustrations, blanks to fill in, and areas for personal reflection. We trust this workbook will become a valuable resource for you as you learn how to pass on a Godly legacy to your grandchildren.

Men’s Bible Study: Acts Part 1 (Chapters 1-5)

The mandate of the Great Commission to go and make disciples of all people groups is a command for every true follower of Christ, not just for those who have the gift of evangelism. God wants every disciple to be a dynamic witness for Him. This is the Big Idea that runs throughout the first twelve chapters of the book of Acts. 
 
Peter was just a fisherman, untrained in the fine details of theology, yet the Holy Spirit used him in dynamic ways to bring many people to a saving faith in Jesus as the Messiah. So how can we be like Peter and share our faith with others in effective ways even when we’re scared and may not really want to? Join us, and find out how.
