The Berean Café
9:30 to 10:30 am

Acts 17:10-12: "As soon as it was night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Many of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men."

Weekly ongoing Christian studies on various topics hosted by Crystal Kerwin or Maja Christensen . We meet in the Church Parlor (Berean Café). To view more details of planned studies, click HERE.

The Prodigal God - Finding Your Place at the Table (Timothy Keller)

Discover the unexpected: the prodigal God, a recklessly extravagant Father whose pure and infinite grace challenges and embraces both the wayward and the devout. The Prodigal God explores Jesus' most familiar parable to find its surprising truth for believers and skeptics alike. In this video-based study, you will be challenged to think beyond the traditional teaching of the prodigal's story and seeing with new eyes God's radical love for his children.

A Spiritual Road Map in a Mixed Up World
(Saddleback Resources, Pastor Lance Witt)

Life happens fast. You make decisions regarding who and what will receive your time, money, and attention. At some point you have realized there is not enough of you for all the demands and, if you are like many of us, you have probably anticipated eternity more than ever during these moments. But what if life is meant to be more than simply waiting for eternity? What if it is meant to be a journey toward eternity? In A Spiritual Road Map in a Mixed Up World, a study of 1 Thessalonians taught by Pastor Lance Witt, small group participants will work through thought-provoking questions and discussion prompting them to unpack the spiritual road map prepared for the Thessalonians and engage the group in deeper study, application, and prayer.

12 Sessions beginning September 22nd
Thursdays 7:00-8:30 pm
Church Library
Facilitator: Mark Cannon
Material Fee $5

 

The Truth Project
(Focus On the Family, Del Tackett)

The Truth Project™ is a powerful, DVD-based, small-group educational experience on developing a biblical worldview. Many of the problems in American culture are due to an ignorance of biblical principles. Too often even devoted, born-again church members hold a dualistic worldview in which they think biblically on religious topics (i.e. heaven, salvation, Jesus, etc.), but they think in worldly terms when it comes to other topics such as ethics, evolution, history, politics, finances, work, marriage, parenting, entertainment, etc. Focus on the Family has created this informative, entertaining, and biblically sound curriculum to equip Christians on living out their faith in a post-Christian culture. 12 Sessions

Thursdays 7-9 pm
Facilitator Sessions 1-6: Maja Christensen
Oct. 6 - Nov. 10

Facilitator Sessions 7-12: Kevin Brolsma
Jan. 19 – Feb. 23
