Through this series in the Old Testament book of Joshua, we will be reassured of God’s presence with his people. Despite many obstacles facing the people of Israel, God still guided them to the Promised Land. Throughout the book, we will see God's faithfulness displayed to his people and see the connection to how he has provided us with everything we need in Christ. The series aims to make us feel confident and courageous in Christ so that we can trust God and take the next step of faith.  The discussion questions for this week can be found HERE.  The discussion questions from previous weeks can be found HERE. This week's bulletin can be found HERE.

The 5x5x5 Bible Reading plan covers the entire New Testament in one year. You will read one chapter per day, five days per week. This approach allows you to take your time and reflect on each chapter, while still making steady progress towards your goal. By the end of the year, you'll have a deeper understanding of the teachings and stories contained within the New Testament.  You can find more information HERE.

Core Classes are learning environments that help the church to mature in Christ through knowledge of Scripture, theology, and Christian living. They are formal settings designed to help the church to grow as disciples of Jesus in order to equip them to make disciples in the world. 

Currently we are running classes in eight week trimesters (October-November; February-March; May-June). Classes will run from 8:30-9:30 on Sunday mornings. 

Upcoming Class: Starting October 6th. 

• Biblical Theology. This class will explore the overarching narrative of Scripture. It will focus in particular how Christ is the goal and focus of all of the whole Bible. It will help church members understand major biblical themes and enable them to read their Bibles through the lens of Christ as well as “read life” through the lens of the Bible. –Class Taught by Bob Blanton and Dan Terracciano.
