Anxious Generations
Various Teachers | Fellowship Central
Digital technology impacts every generation. Will we allow screens, social media, and smartphones to hinder our faithfulness to Christ? Or will we be proactive about drawing boundaries so we can thrive as disciples? Professors, doctors, ministers, and members of this church will weigh in, addressing topics like education, security, video games, sports betting, counseling, and news media. Don’t try to navigate these difficulties alone! Join us and learn how to flourish in a digital age.
Harmony Unleashed
Stephen Maxwell | A105-106
Unlock the power of your voice and glorify God with an engaging singing class. Whether you are seasoned or a beginner, this class is designed to help you explore the art of singing, refine your vocal skills, and connect with God. Unlike WOW (Wonder of Worship), this class is about vocal refinement, seeking to enhance vocal experience with technical learning and skills. This class will only meet in March and April.
Earlybird Class (5:10-6:00 pm)
Turning from idols, waiting for His Son
Phil Lewis | A105-106
When Paul wrote 1 and 2 Thessalonians, he summarized our faith and life as Christians in a few phrases. (1) We turn away from idols (2) We turn towards the living and true God (3) We wait for His Son Jesus to return from heaven. This class will expand on these components of faith. What God has done for us, our need to turn our backs on false gods, how to serve the one true God, and our hope for Christ’s second coming.
Class for Women

Bucket List Book Club 2025
The Power and the Glory, Meets 2nd Wednesday each Month
Caleb McCoy | A109
All are welcome to read spiritual classics that many would not read on their own. We have read Dante’s Divine Comedy, Pilgrim’s Progress, and Paradise Lost. This year, we will read Graham Greene’s The Power and The Glory. Published in 1940, the story follows a priest when the government of Mexico was trying to suppress the Catholic Church. In 2005, TIME magazine chose it as one of the hundred best English-language novels since 1923.
