How To Study The Bible
Many of us read the Bible, but few of us feel confident that we are interpreting it correctly. In this foundational 8-week course, we will move beyond simply reading for inspiration and learn the tools of exegesis—drawing the meaning out of the text rather than reading our own ideas into it.
We will cover:
Whether you are a new believer or a longtime leader, this class will equip you to handle the Word of Truth with precision and confidence.
We will cover:
- Observation: What does the text actually say?
- Interpretation: What did it mean to the original audience?
- Context: How does this verse fit into the chapter, book, and redemptive history?
- Application: How does this change my life today?
Whether you are a new believer or a longtime leader, this class will equip you to handle the Word of Truth with precision and confidence.
Worldviews
We live in a marketplace of ideas. Every movie, news article, and political speech is built on a specific "worldview"—a set of assumptions about what is real, what is wrong with the world, and how to fix it. If we aren't careful, we can absorb these cultural narratives without realizing it.
In this 8-week course, we will learn to "read" our culture. We will compare the Christian worldview with the dominant secular narratives of our day (such as Materialism, Individualism, and Postmodernism). You will leave with the tools to engage your neighbors, coworkers, and family members with clarity and compassion, offering the Gospel as the only story that truly explains reality.

Intro To Theology
A.W. Tozer said, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." Theology isn't just for academics; it is the anchor for your soul. Bad theology leads to fear and confusion; good theology leads to worship and stability.
In this 10-week journey, we will explore the core doctrines of the Christian faith. We will look at the attributes of God, the nature of the Trinity, the work of Christ, and the role of the Holy Spirit. We will move beyond "Sunday School answers" to understand why we believe what we believe and how these ancient truths anchor us in modern life.

Everyday Counseling
Ministry doesn't just happen from the pulpit; it happens in coffee shops, living rooms, and small groups. As Christians, we are called to "bear one another's burdens," but we often feel ill-equipped when friends face deep struggles like anxiety, grief, or conflict.
This 10-week class is not about becoming a licensed therapist; it is about becoming a wiser friend. We will explore how the Gospel intersects with our psychological and emotional lives. You will learn the art of asking good questions, the discipline of active listening, and how to speak the truth in love without falling into the trap of "fixing" people.
