Current Class
Gender & Sexuality: Biblical Visions, Contemporary Questions
In the last few decades the prevailing consensus in our society has shifted away from traditional Christian understandings about gender, sexuality, and marriage. This is an opportunity for Christians to carefully examine biblical teachings, not simply holding to inherited traditions nor simply conforming to current culture. Rather, we will consider these matters in light of the overarching biblical story of creation, fall, redemption, and glory. We will consider how to relate to one another in the church as well as to our friends, co-workers, and neighbors. There will be time for discussion and questions. Led by Pastor Greg.
About Our Classes
Our Sunday classes seek to equip our congregation to live more faithfully and authentically for the glory of Christ. At the heart of all our classes is the gospel - the good news of the grace of Jesus Christ - and the belief that true spiritual transformation happens when we apply the Gospel to all of life. As the biblical gospel takes root in our minds and hearts, we come to love God more fully, live in community more authentically, and serve God more faithfully in the world.
Most broadly, our class topics fall into one of three categories:
First, we want to teach the core elements of the Christian Faith. These courses include overviews of the Bible, the basics of Christian theology, and surveys of church history.
Second, we want to build Christian character. These classes explore the ways in which the gospel teaches us to pray, worship, grow in holiness, forgive and reconcile, and live in community.
Third, we want to equip for Christian service. Every Christian is called to serve. Thus, these classes discuss living a gospel-centered life for the sake of others. Classes include personal evangelism, apologetics, world missions, work, mercy ministry, marriage, parenting, and financial stewardship.
Classes meet downstairs in the Fellowship Hall.
