ALL NEW SERIES – CENTER FOR DISCIPLESHIP
Study of the Book of Acts: Power and Faith to Change the World Servant's Heart Connect Class | Sundays at 10 am | Room 201 Led by Chip Newton & Jada Waldrop The Book of Acts confirms the Power which transformed the disciples is the same Power - the Power of God - His Holy Spirit - that can transform our lives today. Join us as we discover the Truth of God's Word in our lives.
Wear the Whole Armor Series | The Refuge Connect Class Sundays at 10am | Room 102 | Led by Bob Lang We struggle with the opposition of the powers of darkness, and with many enemies who would keep us from God and heaven. We are in a battle. To assist us in completing this battle successfully, learn how to prepare. Our focus for September and October will be: Wear the Whole Armor (Ephesians 6:10-18).
New 6-Week Series | Living a Life Without Rival Beginning Wednesday, September 21 | 7pm | Room 201 Led by Linda Jurek Don't limit yourself! We have an enemy who is assaulting our mind, will, and emotions in hopes we will turn on ourselves and each other. It's a cycle that isolates us, creating confusion about our identity, and limits our purpose. Lessons include: "Don't Settle for Crumbs", "Leave a Redemptive Legacy" and others.
Join the Men's Ministry On-Campus Bible Study | Wednesdays | 7pm Room 202. Led by Rev. Geoffrey Nyatuka and Dennis Cook. Currently studying the Book of Philippians: Joy in the midst of the struggle.
