Operation Worldview — Aimee Worley and Lisa Stroth (Room 210)
Gain a fresh, thoroughly Scriptural perspective on God’s beautiful purpose for yourself and your church family. In this class, you will explore four big questions: What is The Story above all stories? What does it mean, “The Kingdom strikes back?” What is the Romance of the universe? What is your Destiny in God’s Story?

Victory for Men: Overcoming the Lust of the Flesh, the Lust of the Eyes and the Pride of Life — Brandon Wood and Stephen Evans (Room 201)
The World prizes the male libido and feeds it in many perverse ways. Men cannot avoid such temptations. But we can resist them. This class will dig into the Biblical standard for sexual purity and sexual fulfillment for men, offer help for men who are struggling with lust, and present a practical plan for being victorious in that area of your life. This class is for men only.

Judges — Cory Baugher (Room 206)
This is an in-depth study of the book of Judges, which takes a look at the history and culture of the nation of Israel as they failed to obey Yahweh and live righteously in the Promised Land that Yahweh had given them. This study will look at what it means to be a godly leader and what led the Israelite's failures.

Romans — Glenn Myres and Don Middleton (Room 203)
If you died tonight, would you be sure you would go to heaven? Do you feel like you can never quite do enough to please God and be in His good graces? Come join us for a study of the book of Romans as we learn how the writings of the Apostle Paul in Romans can forever resolve these issues for you.

1 & 2 Timoty and Titus — Dolores Suckow (Room 103)
Paul writes to instruct Timothy and Titus on their pastoral ministries and the ministries they will establish. Teaching of the gospel and the way of life that flows from it, must not be a muddled, rambling thing, that goes this way and that over complex issues. Christian faith allows the gospel to transform our lives so that one of the outward signs of faith is love for others. Paul teaches how to build up mutual love and support within our community. He reminds us that we, like Timothy and Titus, are not alone; we are assured of God's grace, mercy and peace.

Living Hope — Dave Merz (Room 306)
Life circumstances can shake our faith and cause us to ask hard questions. At times we have more questions than answers: How can something good come from this? Has God abandoned me? How can I know what to believe? In the midst of change and questions, we learn from the New Testament that God is here with us. Hope is here. We’ll learn from 1st and 2nd Peter how that Living Hope calls us to holy living, then consider the prophet Isaiah as he inspires us to praise the Holy One.

Living Hope — John Kirn (Room 115)
Life circumstances can shake our faith and cause us to ask hard questions. At times we have more questions than answers: How can something good come from this? Has God abandoned me? How can I know what to believe? In the midst of change and questions, we learn from the New Testament that God is here with us. Hope is here. We’ll learn from 1st and 2nd Peter how that Living Hope calls us to holy living, then consider the prophet Isaiah as he inspires us to praise the Holy One.

Voices for Revival: A Study of the Minor Prophets — George Overholt (Room 113)
The Minor Prophets ministered to Israel and Judah who experienced apostasy, hypocrisy, and immorality, while foreign nations were coming to take them into captivity. God’s chosen people desperately needed revival. It was the Minor Prophets who delivered God’s messages during this period. Because our need for revival in the twenty-first century is at least as desperate as it was then, the words of the Minor Prophets resonate for us now, as perhaps, never before

Faithful Chosen — Yvonne McNabb (Lounge)
The members of this class are cognitively challenged adults. We provide a setting where they feel welcomed, valued, and enjoyed for who they are. We study ideas such as the Joy that God sent Jesus to be our Savior and Lord and how to pray, worship, read the Bible, giving, singing, how to show kindness to others, and what it means to share the story about God's love. Each week also includes a craft time.
