During the school year we offer classes, support groups and Bible studies on Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in order to give you an opportunity to learn and apply the truths of the Bible. Whether it’s a Bible study of a particular passage or book, a class about spiritual disciplines or a group that helps people find freedom from pain and suffering, there is always a chance for you to connect and grow with us.

It is nearly impossible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature and without a relationship with Jesus, little change is possible. Through this study we will address the void between our emotional health and spiritual maturity while we see what an authentic faith and profound love for God looks like in our daily lives.

What is the issue when the issue isn’t the issue? Marriage is hard and despite your best attempt, conflict is unavoidable. This study will provide insight into how God has uniquely designed men and women and how you can embrace those differences in marriage. As you come to see the heart behind your spouse’s complaints, you will better understand the place for both love and respect with each other. Rather than becoming another statistic, you can break the cycle and have a thriving marriage according to God’s good design.

Today, people are often known more for what they are against rather than what they are for. God is for the people in our world. He is for breaking down unnecessary barriers that keep people away from experiencing his love. As his followers, he calls us to be husbands, fathers, friends, leaders and employees who do the same. Through this study we’ll discuss what we are for and how to be for others in our lives – at work, home and in our community.

A clear view of Jesus is critical in our chaotic world. Revelation opens our eyes to a grand vision of Jesus and challenges us to open our ears to his message for seven churches—churches like us who were called to overcome opposition, compromise, and complacency in their faith.
This study will meet in-person and it will also be streamed online live through Facebook and on the Christ’s Church YouTube channel. A podcast of this class will also be available.
When a parent loses a child, you are faced with the reality of many years ahead of you before you are reunited with that child in Heaven. As you face those seemingly interminable years, we have some choices to make… Are you going to abandon or apply your faith? Are you going to allow grief to make you bitter, or allow God to use grief to make you better?
These, and many more questions, are discussed at the While We’re Waiting support groups. Here you’ll find other parents who have gone through the same life-altering moment of losing a child. Here you’ll find others who have found hope on the other side.
Jonah by Priscilla Shirer
Interruptions. They’re aggravating. Sometimes infuriating. What do we do when God interrupts our lives or when he wants us to go in a different direction than we had planned? Many times, like Jonah, we run! In this study, Priscilla Shirer redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God’s invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. It’s an opportunity to do something more than we can imagine for ourselves. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was a revival in an entire city!
