“Apart from Jesus Christ, no person in history has made as deep or lasting an impression on the world as Moses.”

Join us in the study of the Life of Moses- renowned lawgiver, prophet, friend of God, and deliverer of his people. God wants to grow the same character traits in us that He used in the life of this “bond servant of God.” Revelation 15:3

Wednesdays at 6:00 PM in Room C102
Led by Matt & Heather Rudy.
Dates: August 20 – September 24

God calls us to a life of joy, obedience, and trust. He calls us to be different from those around us. He calls us to be holy.

In this rich study, you will discover that holiness is not an arbitrary standard within today's church or an unreachable goal of sinless perfection. Holiness is about pleasing God--living in such a way that it's clear you belong to Him. Holiness is what makes you unique as a believer in Jesus Christ. As a reminder, we will use the Bible study to grow together in the Lord.

Come explore the beauty of holy living and see why true holiness and true happiness always go together.

Dates: August 13 – October 15 in D104

Wednesdays at 6:00 PM in Room C105
Led by Hope Curtsinger and Brenda Lichtenberg.
Dates: August 20 - October 15

We long for peace, to have lives marked by freedom from difficulty and pain. We look to countless places to fill this need—our possessions, relationships, intellect, spirituality, political affiliations, and so on. But, by relying on these things for freedom, we unintentionally make them our savior instead of Christ. This exchange leaves us enslaved to a false gospel and to the very things we hoped would set us free.

This study on the book of Galatians, author and Bible teacher Elizabeth Woodson reveals that the struggle to fully embrace our freedom in Christ is not a new problem. Walking verse-by-verse through Paul's letter, Elizabeth highlights how this letter teaches us that in the gospel alone do we gain what we desire—freedom from sin and freedom to experience true peace, living the abundant life Jesus offers.

Who is Financial Peace University for?
Anyone and everyone! Whether you’re trying to get out of debt or save for retirement, you’ll learn God’s way of handling money. No matter where you are in your financial journey, Financial Peace University helps you reach your goals faster.

Will this class work for me?
It’s easy to feel like you’re the only one in your situation. We’ve seen this class work for millions of people who:

• Have a huge amount of debt
• Have nothing saved for retirement
• Can’t get on the same page with their spouse about money
• Are facing a financial crisis
• Are newly widowed or divorced
• Are living paycheck to paycheck
• Can’t keep up with their bills

Is it for couples only?
FPU is for anyone! If you’re married (or about to be), FPU is definitely one of the best ways to get on the same page with your spouse about money. But if you’re single, it can be tough to manage your money on your own. For better or worse, you have to answer to you. In an FPU class, you’ll get plugged into a community that will encourage you and hold you accountable, so you stay focused on your goals.

Tuesdays at 9:30 AM in Room D100
Led by Sunni Mauk.
Dates: September 2 - October 28

Have you ever felt a sense of lack? That you’re not strong enough? Not confident or courageous enough? That you simply don’t have what it takes to endure the pains and difficulties of life?   

In this study on 2 Corinthians, Christine Hoover guides you through one of Paul’s most personal letters to discover how God is the ultimate source of the strength and sufficiency you need. You’ll find that God gives you strength to go on—through troubles, disappointments, and temptations—and strength to go forth, equipping you to serve Him and compelling you to share the gospel. Weakness is not a disqualifier or a flaw in our design. In fact, God shows Himself most powerfully in and through our fragility and vulnerability. We’re called, then, not to work harder or to hide our weaknesses, but to call upon God’s infinite resources and rely on Him.

Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray.

In this 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.

Know how to encourage friends and help them navigate hard realities with real help from God’s truth.

We all struggle with angry feelings, brought on by tension, pressure, and the blocked goals and frustrations of day-to-day life. The broken and stressed relationships that result from these feelings can overwhelm us. But there is hope. With the right help, you too can overcome those emotions that destroy.

You will learn through solid biblical principles, as well as the psychological aspects of our emotions, that anger can be a positive tool used by God to transform you and your relationships.
