As hard as it is to believe, a new year is already upon us.  It is the last year of the first decade in the new millennium.  I don’t know what all that means to you, but what it means to me is that heaven is close today than it was yesterday.

We are excited to have Sunday School classes each Sunday before service. These classes will be an excellent opportunity to dig deeper into the Bible, while  exploring historical and contemporary theories that shape how we view important matters of the faith.

Class will begin 90 minutes before church starts each Sunday from 3:00-4:00pm in the Fellowship Hall Annex, which is attached to the Fellowship Hall next to the kitchen.

Our first course, which will take us through March, is Christian Theology:  Connecting Life and Doctrine. As we survey Theology proper, Anthropology, Christology, Pneumatology, Ecclesiology, and Eschatology, our goals are to: understand better core Christian convictions, build greater faith in the Bible, communicate our faith more effectively, and know God better so that we may love Him more and more!

Participants will need to order a textbook, “Created for Community: Connecting Christian Belief with Christian Living” by Stanley J. Grenz.  The book must be ordered online.  A great resource is BigWords.com, a discount book warehouse and locator.  You can find both new and used copies depending on your budget.
Please join us for a fresh look at the foundations of the Christian faith.

If you have any questions please contact Chris Clawson.
