Full Semester: January 15 – May 7
6:00 – 7:30 pm | Experiencing God | David Gusewelle
Room TBD Over the years God has used the truths of Experiencing God to awaken believers to a radically God-centered way of life. As a result, millions have come to know God intimately, to recognize His voice, and to understand His will for their lives. God is inviting you to experience Him in an intimate love relationship through which He reveals to you His will, His ways, and His work.
6:00 – 7:30 pm | Study of Galatians | Doug Ralston
Room TBD Galatians is a letter to a church in crises. Paul writes to the church alarmed that they are departing the gospel he taught them of justification by faith in Christ alone, to one based on works of the Law. His vigorous and passionate defense of justification by faith alone has been called the Magna Carta of spiritual freedom. It was doctrine cited by Luther in the Reformation. Join us as we study this foundational Christian document, its impact on the early church, and its lessons for us today.
6:00 – 7:30 pm | Knowing the Bible | Paul Kullman
Room TBD This co-ed course is designed to give someone key principles and practical methods to better understand God’s Word. The course will cover the topics, How We Got the Bible, How to Study the Bible, Biblical Hermeneutics and Its Value, Bible Translations and Their Purpose, and A Deep Dive into Scripture (Q & A with attendees covering their selected questions for several weeks). The outcome will be a better approach to study, comprehend, and appreciate the Bible for all its worth.
6:00 – 7:30 pm | When You Pray | Singles Study | January 29 – March 19 | Rachel Whisenant
Room TBD In this 7-session study, join with six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.
6:00 – 7:30 pm | Essentials: Foundations of the Christian Faith | Women’s Study | Shannon Morton
Room TBD Have you ever wondered if you know the basics of the Christian faith? Do you want to be able to love them and communicate them to others?

Great for new believers, renewing a commitment, and those compelled to share Christ with all!
6:00 – 7:30 pm | Book of James | Men’s Study | Mike Ballard
Room TBD We don’t work to be saved; we work because we are saved. But without faith, our works are empty service. And without works our faith is dead. This dynamic relationship is the heart of this study of the Book of James. This study will give you a better understanding of the Book of James, guide you to apply its practical wisdom to your life, and equip you to approach trials and temptations with the understanding that enduring adversity ultimately brings joy. Learn to extend mercy, not harsh judgment, to others.

6:00 – 7:30 pm | Journey to the Inner Chamber | David Booth
Room TBD This course is for anyone considering The Journey 9-month discipleship process. This pre-study introduces the key concepts of The Journey through the use of an allegory using biblical kingdom imagery. Participants identify their place in the allegory and consider God’s call on every believer’s life to abiding intimacy with Christ and fruitfulness that makes an eternal difference in the lives of others.
Starting Mini-Mester 2 Only: March 19 – May 7
Room TBD Everywhere we look, our culture attempts to tear down the family and destroy God’s plan for strong homes. What are the Biblical principles for parenting effectively? What is our goal in parenting our children? Where do we start? Through class discussion and participation, we will look at “gifts” we need to give our children. No cost for this class.
6:00 – 7:30 pm | Prayer | Women’s Study | April 23 – May 7 | Renee Brady
