Description of Classes Offered:
Jesus and Women - Donna Kaplan + Gini Larsen
The end goal of the Christian life is to become a person of love like Jesus. We will slow down and take a look at Jesus and his encounters with women in the gospels—women who were suffering, whom he was sanctifying and whom he sent out as saints on mission. As we behold Jesus together we will know more of his love and be transformed to love like him. (6/02 - 7/14 | FOR WOMEN ONLY)The Book of Joel - Kevin LeRoy:
The Book of Joel offers a compelling blend of prophetic urgency and spiritual hope. This class will explore Joel’s message within its historical and literary context—unpacking themes like the locust plague, the Day of the Lord, and the outpouring of God’s Spirit. Alongside thoughtful analysis, we’ll reflect on how Joel’s call to repentance and renewal still speaks to the heart of every believer. Expect both insight for the mind and encouragement for the soul. (6/02 - 7/14, OFF 6/23)Intro to Reformed Theology - Seth Troutt:
What was the protestant reformation? What does it mean to be reformed or a calvinist? In this class, we'll discuss what the Bible and church history has to say about what has been called the doctrines of grace. (6/02 - 6/16)Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy - Robbin Howey:
Grief, loss, injustice, silence—The Bible doesn’t ignore suffering it gives us language for it. In this class we will guide you in rediscovering the lost prayer language of lament. Whether you are walking through pain now or walking alongside someone who is, come learn how biblical lament can help you grieve honestly, seek God boldly, and trust Him fully. (6/02 - 6/30)Why We Stay Stuck: The Hidden Scaffolding of Strongholds - Vicki Diemert:
In this class we'll explore the unseen beliefs and survival strategies that quietly shape our lives. Behind every struggle to change is a structure—built from past wounds, false narratives, and protective patterns—that keeps us tethered to old pain. We will help you identify those inner frameworks and gently begin dismantling them through truth, compassion, and biblical insight. If you've ever wondered why healing feels just out of reach, this is your invitation to uncover what's holding you back. (7/14)How to Disciple Kids - Laura LeFevre: Whether you're just starting or looking to refocus, this class will equip you to lead your kids with confidence and purpose. Together we will create a simple and doable discipleship plan for your family, uncover common mistakes we make and myths we believe, and learn how to make the most of everyday moments to influence your kids to guide them spiritually.
