Postcards to the Church (Revelation 2-3)
Rob Harmon | Tuesdays 7-8 pm | June 9-July 21
This class will look at the letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3. We’ll see what encouragements and warnings we can apply from our study of these early congregations.
Kingdom Parables
Byron Newberry | Wednesdays 7-8 pm | July 8-August 5
Sometimes Jesus teaches directly, and other times he uses short stories called parables to get his message across. This class will look at several of those parables and see what Jesus was saying to his audience then and what he might be saying to us.
Rebuilding (Nehemiah)
Clint McKnight | Mondays 7-8 pm | June 1-29
The book of Nehemiah features God’s people trying to rebuild – physically and spiritually – after a devastating time in exile. This class will work through this book of the Bible and see what God expects from his people.
Science and Christianity in History
Mark Brewer | Wednesdays 7-8 pm | Begins June 3
This class will look at major conversations and events in the past where science and Christianity interacted. We’ll look at the story of Galileo and the Catholic Church, the Scopes Trial, Noah’s Ark and the Flood, and other interactions. We’ll examine the people and issues and how the episodes affected culture and society.
Every Man a Leader, Every Man a Servant (Men’s Class)
Various Teachers | Wednesdays 7-8 pm | June 3-Aug 19
This class, hosted by Frank Chatmon, will feature a different guest teacher each week discussing some aspect of servant leadership, rooted in different chapters of the book of Nehemiah.
Todd Wright, our men’s ministry director, will provide Zoom meeting information to our men, so you don’t need to register for this class. Contact Todd to be added to our men’s ministry email list if you’re not already on it.
The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children (Women’s Small Group)
Kathy Thompson & Diana Hawley | Wednesdays 7-8 pm | June 3-Sept. 2
Parenting doesn’t stop when your children graduate. While there is more to be concerned about, we have less control. Learn what every parent of an adult child needs to know, then how to pray scripture over 15 specific areas of their life.
