Description of Classes Offered:
Behind the Veil of Being a Missionary:

In the counseling workshop series each class we engage with an element of spiritual growth and maturity. We will look closely at emotions, forgiveness, repentance and boundaries. (6/10 - 7/1)Stretched Too Thin:
This practical and inspiring class designed for working parents feeling the pressures of achieving balance. This class empowers participants to manage their professional and family lives effectively.

(6/03 - 7/08)A Praying Life:

(Almost FULL, email Abi Khavari - 6/03 - 7/08)Parenting Children with Disabilities:

Join us as we delve into how the message of Jesus Christ transformed the local political dynamics of his era by heralding a kingdom that rose above partisan divides. From the narratives of Genesis in the garden to the visionary imagery of the city in Revelation, we will examine the divine-human partnership of ordering creation and explore strategies for local meaningful engagement that fosters unity through the shared commitment to love our neighbors. (6/03 - 6/24)Grief and Grieving:
Grief is an inevitable part of the human experience, but one which many of us have been wrongly taught we have to figure out on our own. This 4-week class will help both sufferers and helpers learn how to process through grief with God and community. (6/17 - 7/8)How to Share Your Faith:
Telling our friends and loved ones about the good news of Jesus requires both confidence and skill. In this class we'll discuss how to develop the courage and the tactics that make evangelism a joy, not merely a duty. (6/03 - 6/17)Knowing Your Name: A Study on the Names of God:
In this class we will come to know and understand the different names of God, gaining a deeper understanding of His nature, His character, and His heart for us.
